Královo Pole (German Königsfeld ) is a district of the Moravian capital Brno in the Czech Republic . It is located north of the city district of Brno-střed ( Brno-center ) and includes the cadastral areas Královo Pole, Ponava and Sadová as well as part of Černá Pole ( Black Field ). Královo Pole belongs to the Okres Brno-město .
history
Archaeological finds show that the area has been inhabited since the early Stone Age . Královo Pole, which originated in the valley of the Ponávka river, was first mentioned in a document in 1240. Since it was owned by the rulers, it was referred to as “Königsfeld” or “Nová ves” ( Neudorf ). For the year 1279 the church built by the Johannitern , dedicated to St. Village church consecrated to Wenceslaus is documented. In 1349 the Bohemian King Charles IV transferred the margraviate of Moravia to his brother Johann Heinrich . He resided in Brno and shortly before his death founded the Královo Pole Carthusian monastery dedicated to the Holy Trinity . As a result, it came to the Carthusian Order , to which the donor transferred the villages of Strzielcz and Černovice ( Tschernowitz ) in addition to the sovereign land in Königsfeld .

After the Carthusian monastery was dissolved as part of the Josephinian reforms , its possessions and the entire monastery property were given to the religious fund in 1782, with the proceeds going to the Catholic institutions. In the same year, the monastery church was rededicated as a branch church with a curate for the residents of Königsfeld and in 1853 raised to an independent parish. The former village church of St. Wenceslas was abolished in 1783 and demolished two years later. The monastery complex was handed over to the imperial army, which opened a cadet school there in 1877 . Königsfeld was elevated to a market town as early as 1844 .
Hermann von Pückler-Muskau and his entourage returned repeatedly to the Königsfeld Gasthaus Morgenstern during his travels. The Gasthaus Zum Semilasso is named after his sensational travel books and successful publications and his pseudonym . Even today, the newly built facility of the cultural center on Palackého Street is called U Semilassa or simply Semilasso .
After the abolition of patrimonial Königsfeld formed a municipality in the Brno district from 1850. The village, which had been dominated by agriculture until then, changed to a suburb of Brno with the settlement of craftsmen and industrial companies. From 1887 the road network was expanded and in 1891 the “Colony Ugartov”, which was built in 1773 by the Moravian governor Alois von Ugarte , was united with Královo Pole. With the establishment of the Königsfelder Maschinenfabrik ( Královopolska strojírna ) in 1890 and other commercial enterprises at the end of the 19th century, there was brisk construction activity. In 1900 Königsfeld was connected to the Brno electric tram. After a new quarter was built, Königsfeld became the largest municipality in the Brno suburbs and was promoted to town in 1905. The ALPA works were founded in 1913.
After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, Královo Pole received a veterinary medical college and a secondary school. The imperial cadet school in the buildings of the former Charterhouse was handed over to the Czechoslovak army. From 1921 the water supply and sewerage network was relocated and the electrical lighting was installed. In 1931/32 a housing estate ( Malobytová kolonie ) was built based on a design by Josef Polášek .
In 1919 the municipality of Královo Pole was incorporated into the city of Brno. The majority of the associations were dissolved after 1945 and the numerous small businesses were replaced by a single municipal company, which meant that the quality of the services was no longer guaranteed. A branch of the Brno University of Technology has been located in the remaining buildings of the former Charterhouse since 1964 . A new building area was built in the 1970s. A renewed economic upswing followed the Velvet Revolution of 1989.
The Sacred Heart Chapel of the military hospital, built in 1915, was demolished in 1969 and rebuilt between 1993 and 1995 in Oslnovice .
