history

The first documentary mention of the village Janowicz , which belongs to the Ober Wekelsdorf estate , took place in 1402. The Straka von Nedabylic acquired the estate in the 17th century . In 1713 the place was called Johnsdorf . According to the will laid down in 1710 by Johann Peter Straka von Nedabylice (1645-1720), the income from Johnsdorf flowed into the capital for the establishment of a Straka Foundation for the establishment of a noble knight academy after the death of his underage son Johann Karl. After the construction of a building for the Knight's Academy had almost used up the foundation's assets , in 1782 Emperor Joseph I ordered the use of the income from the foundation goods Liebtschan , Okrauhlitz and Ober Wekelsdorf as a foundation for young Bohemian students of the aristocratic class under the supervision of the Bohemian classes. In 1819 a school building was built in which the Hottendorf children were also taught.

In 1836 the village of Johnsdorf or Janowice in the Königgrätzer Kreis consisted of 130 houses in which 765 predominantly German-speaking people lived. The settlements of Neuhöfel (12 houses) and Zaboř (5 houses) , which emerged from the divided Meierhöfe , were registered at Johnsdorf . In Johnsdorf there was a stately patronage school, one dedicated to St. Chapel consecrated to Anthony of Padua, two mills, a board saw and a stately hunter's house. In the Niederdorf the Erlitzbach was dammed in the mill pond; sandstone quarries were operated near Zaboř. The parish was in Bohemian Ober-Wernersdorf . The main source of income was agriculture, and craftsmen, miners, flax breakers, weavers and lumberjacks also lived in Johnsdorf . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subordinate to the Ober Wekelsdorf foundation.

After the abolition of patrimonial Johnsdorf formed from 1849 with the districts Neuhöfel and Zaboř a municipality in the judicial district of Politz . In 1868 Hottendorf (with Kalthaus) was incorporated. In the same year the community was assigned to the Braunau district . The school was enlarged in 1872. In the 1880s, Hottendorf broke away from Johnsdorf and formed its own community. In 1885, 878 people lived in Johnsdorf , 872 of them Germans. In 1894 Johnsdorf became part of the newly formed judicial district Wekelsdorf .

In 1900 the village had 723 inhabitants, in 1930 there were 571. Between 1906 and 1908 the local railway Wekelsdorf – Parschnitz – Trautenau was laid through the Erlitzbachtal ; The Johnsdorf-Hottendorf train station was built on the Johnsdorf corridor . In 1926 Johnsdorf was electrified. From 1939 to 1945 the community belonged to the German district of Braunau . In 1939 there were 496 people in Johnsdorf.

After the Second World War, the village came back to Czechoslovakia and the German residents were expelled . The Záboř district remained uninhabited and became extinct. In 1949 Hodkovice was incorporated. In the course of the municipal reform of 1960, the municipality was assigned to the Okres Trutnov after the repeal of the Okres Broumov. In 1961 there were 267 people in Janovice. On March 1, 1980 Janovice was incorporated into Jívka, and in 1981 the village also lost the status of a district. Today Janovice is a resort; There are several accommodations in the village, which are mostly used by hikers in the rock city.
