history

The Bohdanetsch Basin was a large swamp area until it was drained. The hilltop Na Bahnech had been inhabited since the early days, during excavations, in addition to a Neolithic settlement site, remains of round buildings were found there.

Libišany belonged to the possessions of the Opatowitz Benedictine monastery , which was destroyed during the Hussite Wars . The first written mention of Libišany came in 1436 when King Sigismund pawned the village to Zdeněk Šváb von Chvalovice. At that time there was probably a festival in the village ; in a military conflict in 1437 a mercenary army besieged the town of Königgrätz Libišany unsuccessfully. Later the village belonged to Mikuláš Berka von Dubá , who in 1467 was renewed the attribution by King George of Podebrady . Between 1470 and 1477 Heinrich von Münsterberg owned Libišany; he was followed by Wenzel Zahradek von Zahradecky, who sold the estate to Wilhelm von Pernstein in 1493 . This joined Libišany to the rule of Pardubice . In the following time, the festival went out. In 1560 Jaroslav von Pernstein sold the dominions of Pardubitz and Kunburg to King Ferdinand I. The king had the rule of Pardubitz reorganized through a system of 24 Rychta ( Scholtiseien ); one of them was set up in Libišany. The Rychtář of Libišany exercised the lower jurisdiction over the villages Libišany, Němčice , Pohřebačka, Opatovice and Podůlšany.

In 1835, the village of Libischan , located in the Chrudim district , consisted of 60 houses in which 410 people, including two Jewish families, lived. There was a school in the village under the patronage of the Pardubitz Oberamt. 35 houses were parish to Opatowitz , the remaining 25 to Wositz or to the branch church in Zdanitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Libishan remained subordinate to the Imperial and Royal Chamber of Pardubice.

After the abolition of patrimonial Libišany formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Pardubice . From 1868 the community belonged to the Pardubitz district . At the end of the 19th century, the settlement V Bahnech was built at the northern end of the village. In 1887 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. Since 1949 Libišany was assigned to the Okres Pardubice-okolí; this was repealed in the course of the territorial reform of 1960, since then the community has belonged to Okres Pardubice.

After the traffic at the end of the unfinished Dálnice 11 on the road II / 333 through Libišany to Hradec Králové from December 19, 2006 , there were massive complaints from residents. As a result, sidewalks and pedestrian crossings were laid along II / 333, and 66 houses were provided with noise protection windows. In the meantime, the D 11 has been extended to the northern boundary of Libišany, where it now ends at Praskačka.

In the peat bog, peat soil is extracted for the Lázně Bohdaneč mud bath. The reed-covered moor meadows east of the village are protected on an area of ​​almost 12 hectares.
