history

Viereckschanze Obrovy hroby

Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the municipality, at the western foot of the Chlum is the Viereckschanze Obrovy hroby .

Kučeř belonged to the Premonstratensian Monastery of Mühlhausen probably since the 13th century . The monastery was destroyed by the Hussites on April 23, 1420 , and all documents were lost. Then the Klingenberg burgrave Jan Hájek von Hodětín struck the orphaned monastery property of the royal rule Klingenberg. After the Hussites besieged Klingenberg Castle in 1430, King Sigismund pledged the rule to Ulrich II von Rosenberg in 1431 because he feared that his burgrave Kunata Kapléř would soon overflow to the rebels. Heinrich V von Rosenberg , who had taken over the indebted rule in 1472, sold a quarter of the properties of the House of Rosenberg on September 28, 1473 , including the Klingenberger Pfand, to his cousin Bohuslav V von Schwanberg .

The first written mention of Kučeř comes from the year 1488. After Christoph von Schwanberg died in 1534, the Klingenberg estates were divided in 1540, with his second eldest son Johann von Schwanberg receiving the rule of Mühlhausen . In addition to Kučeř, this also included the villages of Stehlovice , Bilina , Branice , Křižanov , Rukáveč, Velká, Veselíčko and Květov . In 1559 Johann's son Christoph von Schwanberg inherited the rule of Mühlhausen. Christoph von Schwanberg combined the rule of Klingenberg in 1574 with his rule of Worlik, which he had acquired three years earlier, and bought Klingenberg the following year as hereditary property. On September 4th, 1612 Georg Ehrenreich von Schwanberg sold the villages of Kučeř, Květov, Jickovice, Velká, Rukáveč, Stehlovice, Jetětice, Branice, Osek, Vůsí and Červená nad Vltavou to Georg von Schwanberg. During the class uprising of 1618, Peter von Schwanberg was one of the leaders of the rebels. After the battle of the White Mountain, an imperial army under the command of Baltasar von Marradas with 2500 men from Itzkowitz and Warta besieged Klingenberg Castle for almost two years. The estate of Peter von Schwanberg, who died in 1621, was judicially confiscated, but the 150-strong crew successfully defended Klingenberg Castle, which was difficult to take. After the capitulation on November 21, 1621 Adam von Sternberg received the rule. He sold the rule of Worlik with Klingenberg in 1622 to the princes of Eggenberg . After the male line of Eggenberg died out in 1717, the Schwarzenberg family inherited their property in 1719 .

In 1837 Kutscheř consisted of 42 houses with 435 inhabitants, including an Israelite family. The parish and school location was Čerwena . Until the middle of the 19th century, as part of the Klingenberg rule , Kutscheř remained subordinate to the Worlik Fideikommissherrschaft including the allodial goods Zalužan, Zbenitz and Bukowan.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kučeř / Kutscheř formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Písek and the judicial district Milevsko. Because of the arduous way to school to Červená in the Vltava Valley, on which fatal accidents had occurred, the municipality of Kučeř applied for the establishment of its own school in 1872. At the beginning of the school year 1873/74, a one-class village school began teaching in Kučeř in rented premises. A schoolhouse was built between 1876 and 1878. The two-class classes started in 1881 and the children from Květov started school the following year. From 1919 the municipality belonged to the Okres Milevsko. Between 1956 and 1963 the Orlík dam was built , which flooded the Vltava valley. In the course of the abolition of the Okres Milevsko, Kučeř was reassigned to the Okres Písek at the end of 1960. In 1964 Jickovice and Strážka were incorporated. The school was later closed and classes moved to Milevsko. On November 24, 1990 Jickovice and Strážka broke away from Kučeř and formed the Jickovice municipality .
