history

Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area. The mention of a village Ljubedici from 1197 cannot be clearly assigned to Libědice.

The first documentary mention of Libědice came in 1226 when Ottokar I Přemysl left the village of Ljubedici to the Premonstratensian monastery Doksany . In the 14th century the village of Libiedicz was divided and partly belonged to the Doksany Monastery and the local parish. After various barter deals, the brothers Kuneš and Sulek von Libědice owned the village in 1358. In 1386 Erhard von Duppau acquired a share. The fortress was probably built as a knight's seat at the end of the 14th century. Ownership changed frequently in the 15th century. They included Slavibor from Libědice, from 1404 Čeněk "Černý" Sekera from Sedčice ( Ax from Sedschitz ), then the patrician Kuneš from Kadaň , from 1470 together Heinrich Axt von Sedschitz and Georg Vrš von Sadlno. In 1474 the entire village fell to the Bohemian Crown , as both owners died without heirs. Wladislaw Jagiello then sold Libědice to Benesch Krabitz von Weitmühl . His heirs sold the goods to the Pětipeský of Chyše and Egerberg in 1496 . In the course of time the place was called Libiedicz , Lybiedicz , Lyebedicz , Libytycz , Libedicze , Libětice , Lubětice , Liebotitz , Libotitz , Liebetitz and Livetitz .

In the first half of the 16th century the village was divided between the Liebenauer and Duppau families. Jan Kolovrat- Novohradský acquired the Liebenauer share in 1556 . In 1571 he had the courtyard at the church expanded into a fortress. His wife, a née Countess Schlick , spread Protestantism in the village and in 1560 the first Protestant pastor was appointed. During this time the influx of German Protestants began. After the death of Jan Kolovrat-Novohradský, his daughters jointly inherited the goods and from 1599 Libědice belonged to Ursula Kolowrat and her husband Christoph von Lobkowicz . At that time there was already a brewery in Libotitz. The festival was sold to Ottilie von Duppau on Saar in 1607 . Except for a small part belonging to the town of Kaaden, their goods comprised the entire village. Wilhelm Adalbert von Duppau was actively involved in the Prague window lintel . He died in 1621 and the following year he was posthumously sentenced to the loss of a third of his property. In 1620 a Catholic pastor was appointed. During the Thirty Years War, the village was ravaged and plundered by various armies. From 1628 Pruss was owned by the Komotauer Jesuits , who added the village to their Welmschloß estate . In 1633 the Bohemian Chamber left the rule of Libotitz to the personal physician Albrecht von Waldstein's Justus Stroporius von Marsfeld as compensation for claims . In 1641 his widow Marie Susanne inherited the property. She later married Adam Zmyslovský von Radvanov. In the berní rula of 1654, 36 properties are shown for Libotitz. A quarter of the village was owned by the Kaadner Rosary Brotherhood . Marie Susanne Zmyslovský bought the villages of Tureč and Obrovice in the Duppau Mountains in 1659 to the Libotitz rule. In 1666 the entire village burned down in a great fire. Two years later, Marie Susanne Zmyslovský bequeathed her goods to the Order of the Discalced Carmelites of Mary of Victory on Lesser Town Prague . In 1713, numerous residents died of the plague. In 1748 Libotitz consisted of 94 houses. The village was dominated by agriculture, at that time there was a mill and a school in Libotitz. In the course of the Josephine reforms in 1786, the Carmelite order was abolished and its goods were transferred to the religious fund, from which Vojtěch Mladota von Solopisk bought the Libotitz rule in 1808 and joined his Maschau rule . During this time, the Rosary Brotherhood sold its share to Prince Auersperg , who later left this part to the Czernin von und zu Chudenitz . In 1827 Gabriele von Dietrichstein bought the rule Maschau with Libotitz from Vojtěch Mladota's widow. In 1845 Eugen Karl Czernin von und zu Chudenitz acquired the rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Liebotitz / Libědice formed from 1850 with the district Pruss / Brusy a municipality in the Kaaden district . The village was divided in two by the Aubach. South of the stream was the Lesser Town with the castle and the church, to the north the Big Side. Pruss joined the Great Side to the west. At this time, lignite mining began and businesses settled there. However, the coal in the lignite pits Johann Nepomuk, Dreieinigkeit, Adalbert, Anton and Thomas was of inferior quality, so that mining was completely stopped in the 19th century. In 1864 there were four brickworks near Libotitz, in the clay pits also lime marl, which was used as a mineral fertilizer, was extracted. In 1872 the wooden bridge over the Aubach was replaced by a brick one. In 1873 the construction of the district road from Willomitz via Ratschitz and Libotitz to Saaz was completed.

In 1884 an iron bridge was built over the Aubach. In 1896 a new school building was inaugurated. Pruss was united with Libotitz on April 28, 1914 and deleted as a district. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Libotitz belonged to the province of German Bohemia from November 1918 . The place was occupied by the Czechoslovak army shortly afterwards and in 1919 it was assigned to Czechoslovakia . In 1921 Libotitz consisted of 133 houses and 807 inhabitants; 786 of them were Germans and 20 Czechs. In the 1920s, several Czech families came to the village as new settlers. In 1929 a Czech minority school opened. In 1930 there were 673 people living in Libotitz, 48 of them were Czechs. After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Kaaden district until 1945 . The goods of the Czechs were confiscated, their owners left the village and moved to the areas that remained with Czechoslovakia. In 1939 the community had 596 German residents. During the Second World War, a prisoner-of-war camp was set up in which initially Poles and later French, Ukrainians and Russians were held. After the end of the war, the village came back to Czechoslovakia. The German population was expelled and Wolhynientschechen settled. At the beginning of 1961 the community came to Okres Chomutov and at the same time Čejkovice was incorporated. Between 1981 and 1990 Libědice and Čejkovice were connected as districts to Pětipsy .
