history

Archaeological finds show that the raised area above the Elbe valley has been colonized by the Latène culture since the second century ; there was a fortification at the site of the village. At the end of the 12th century, a fortress was built on the Salzsteig or Strenitzer Steig , next to which a church was built.

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1238. After 1301, Držislav von Kojice sold part of the village to the Sedlec Cistercian monastery . In 1338 Držislav's sons Dalibor and Vrš had a dispute with the monastery over the property in Kojice; the festival was also mentioned for the first time. In addition to the fortress, the brothers only owned a courtyard . From 1361 Dalibor von Kojice was the sole owner of the fortress and the associated share in the village. During the Hussite Wars , the Sedlec Monastery was attacked and burned down by the Hussites under Jan Žižka in 1421 ; then various nobles seized the extensive property. On September 21, 1436, King Sigismund inherited the Teinitz estate with the town of Tajnec , the monastic portion of Kojice and other villages to Vaněk von Miletínek, a brother of the moderate Hussite captain Diviš Bořek von Miletínek . In the same year the owner of the Kojice Fortress, Václav Hrůza from Chelčice, also acquired Vaněk von Miletínek's share and united both parts of the village. Václav Hrůza was appointed Burgrave of Prachatice by Ulrich II von Rosenberg in 1444 ; his son Bohuslav Hrůza from Chelčice did not use the Kojice fortress as a manor and left it to decay. After the death of the childless Bohuslav Hrůza Wilhelm von Landstein was enfeoffed with the Kojice estate, but in 1475 Bohuslav's heirs, the Troppauer provincial governor Bernhard Birka von Nassiedel and his son Hynčík sued the court. In the course of this dispute, the festival was described as desolate. In 1502, Wilhelm von Pernstein bought the Kojice estate and assigned it to the Pardubice rulership . Wilhelm von Pernstein bequeathed his Bohemian property to his younger son Vojtěch in 1521 , after his death in 1534 they passed to his brother Johann . In 1548 Johann von Pernstein left his son Jaroslav in debt. On March 21, 1560 Jaroslav von Pernstein sold the entire rule of Pardubitz to King Ferdinand I. His successor Maximilian II transferred the administration of the royal lords to the court chamber .

In 1835 the village of Kogitz , located in the Chrudim district , consisted of 61 houses in which 441 people lived, including 18 Protestant and one Jewish family. There was a branch church of St. Peter and Paul and a branch school in the village. The Catholic parish was Elbe-Teinitz . In the years 1842–1845 the Imperial and Royal Northern State Railway was laid out along the Old Elbe through the Elbe . Until the middle of the 19th century, Kogitz remained subordinate to the kk cameraman Pardubitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kojice formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Přelauč . From 1868 the community belonged to the Pardubitz district . In 1869 Kojice had 499 inhabitants and consisted of 75 houses. In the 1870s the parish was reclassified into the Judicial District and Kolin District . In 1900 there were 525 people in Kojice, in 1910 there were 558. In 1930 Kojice had 568 inhabitants. 1949 Kojice was assigned to the newly formed Okres Přelouč. This was lifted in the course of the territorial reform of 1960, since then the community has belonged to Okres Pardubice. The kindergarten was established in 1977.
