Kostelec nad Černými lesy (until 1920: Černý Kostelec ; German: Schwarzkosteletz ) is a town in Okres Praha-východ (Prague-East district) in the Czech Republic. It belongs to the Central Bohemian Region .
history
The area of Schwarzkosteletz was colonized by the Přemyslids in the first half of the 13th century . Schwarzkosteletz was first mentioned in a document in 1348 , when Margrave Johann Heinrich , a brother of Emperor Charles IV , agreed to a contract concluded by his father Johann von Luxemburg in the first quarter of the 14th century with the lordship and castle “Costelicz in Nygra Sylva “ Should be exchanged with Nachod Castle . The first feudal lord known by name was Ješek von Nachod . In 1415, his sons sold the castle and the manor to Johannes Secretarius, a favorite of King Wenceslas IV.
In 1489 Schwarzkosteletz was elevated to a town. In 1492 the Lords Slawata acquired the heavily indebted rule, but lost it after Diviš Slawata had participated in the uprising of 1547. The possessions fell back to King Ferdinand I , who had the castle converted into a hunting lodge in the Renaissance style. Due to financial difficulties, however, he sold the castle and the manor to Jaroslav Smiřický of Smiřice in 1558 , who made it a residence for his family. Although the Smiřický von Smiřice, who belonged to the gentry, held numerous state and court offices, they lost their possessions because of their participation in the class uprising of 1618 and the support of the winter king Friedrich of the Palatinate in 1621. The confiscated Schwarzkosteletz went to Albrecht von Wallenstein , whose mother was born Smiřicka von Smiřice. Wallenstein sold Schwarzkosteletz to Karl von Liechtenstein in 1623 .
Schwarzkosteletz suffered great damage in the Thirty Years' War , as it was repeatedly devastated by the opposing parties. Because of the emergency there was unrest among the rural population in 1626. Maria Theresa of Savoy and granddaughter of Karl Eusebius von Liechtenstein , initiated social improvements for the population from 1729 onwards. She set up a welfare service and initiated the renovation of churches and parsonages. In 1759 she released her subjects from inheritance . Nevertheless, further peasant unrest broke out under Franz Joseph Johann Adam von Liechtenstein in 1775.
In 1869 the town had 3032 inhabitants; In 1910 there were 3,000.
