history

The first written mention of the village took place in 1273 under the name Heinrichov together with Chrášťany , Ovčáry and Břežany in a document of protection from Pope Gregory X. for the villages of the Strahov monastery . The village was probably named after the Strahov abbot Heinrich, who was in office between 1208 and 1219. In 1344 the name Lhota is found for the first time in the Strahov Urbar , later the village was named to differentiate it from Lhotka Velká Lhota . The name Jestřabí Lhota emerged in the 15th century; possibly it is derived from a large farmer named Jestřab or from a rich population of hawks in the surrounding forests. At the beginning of the Hussite Wars , a Hungarian mercenary army of King Sigismund devastated the area north of Kolín at the end of 1420; in the process, Břežany also went out, whose corridors were closed to Jestřabí Lhota.

In 1436 King Sigismund pawned the town of Kolín with the surrounding villages, including Jestřabí Lhota, for 3,000 groschen to Bedřich von Strážnice, who formed the Kolín domain from it. Around 1475 the Bačovský rybník fish pond was built on the Břežany grounds . At the beginning of the Thirty Years War, the village was burned down in 1618 by the estate army under Albrecht Jan Smiřický von Smiřice . In the berní rula of 1654, only four farmers are listed for Jestřabí Lhota, 65% of the land was desolate. In the course of the raabization , the kk chamber lordship Kolín had the village of Freudenek built on the emphyteutized pond of Bačovský rybník in 1778 . In 1798 there were 292 people in Jestřabí Lhota. Emperor Franz I sold the Kolín Chamber of Commerce to the textile manufacturer Jacob Veith in 1829 . In 1834 a school was opened in Jestřabí Lhota, until then the children were taught in the parish school of Ohaře.

In 1843 the rustic village Lhota Gestřaby or Lhota Gestřebna in the Kauřim district consisted of 54 houses in which 411 people, including 24 Protestant and one Jewish family, lived. There was an inn in the village. The village was parish after Wohař ; the place of office was Kaisersdorf . Until the middle of the 19th century, Lhota Gestřaby remained subject to the Kolín rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Jestřábí Lhota in 1849 with the hamlet Volárna a municipality in the judicial district Kolin . 1862 acquired Franz Horsky the manorial Kolin from the heirs of Baron Wenceslas Veith. Horsky immediately initiated a modernization of agriculture. From 1868 the village belonged to the Kolin District . In 1869 Jestřábí Lhota had 475 inhabitants and consisted of 69 houses. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1878. Between 1878 and 1893 the schoolhouse was enlarged several times for two and three-class classes. Horsky's grandson Adolf Richter had the narrow-gauge Kolin beet railway built from the Kolín sugar factory to the Eleonorenhof in 1894 , which he had extended to Jestřábí Lhota in 1896 . In 1900 there were 502 people in Jestřábí Lhota, compared to 543 in 1910. In 1914 the village was given public lighting. Since 1924 Jestřabí Lhota is used as an official municipality name. Volárna broke away from Jestřabí Lhota in 1927 and formed its own community. In 1930 Jestřabí Lhota had 494 inhabitants and consisted of 119 houses. In the years 1935-1936 the local road to Volárna was built, in 1938 the road to Němčice followed. Between 1949 and 1951 the new seat of the municipal administration was built. The beet railway was shut down in 1968 and the tracks dismantled. In the 2001 census, there were 366 people in the 140 houses in Jestřabí Lhota. The municipality has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2012.
