history

The Libněves court was first mentioned in writing in 1316 in a document from Abbess Sophia of the monastery of St. George at Prague Castle . In 1331 the possession was confirmed by Bishop John IV of Dražice . In the 16th century the farm belonged to the estates in Žiželice and was connected to the Chlumetz rule .

In the 1830s, the Prague wholesaler Heinrich Eduard Herz leased the Libněves farm and began growing sugar beet . Herz had a syrup kitchen built in Libněves and leased further farms from the Chlumetz, Podiebrad and Dymokur lords . The syrup barrels were then transported to the sugar refineries in Karlov and Zbraslav near Prague, where further processing took place. The Libněves sugar factory was built between 1835 and 1836, and a sugar press was added in 1845. A settlement for the workers was built around the sugar factory and train station.

After the abolition of patrimonial Libněves formed from 1850 a district of the Dobčice municipality in the Poděbrady district . In 1860 Libněves was connected to the railway network with the completion of the railway from Velký Osek to Hradec Králové . In 1877 the sugar factory was modernized. In 1888, the Viennese banker Louis von Herber acquired HE Herz KG including the Libněves, Báň , Korec, Levín and Hradišťko farms . In 1894 the factory burned down before the beet campaign began. The following year it resumed operations in a modernized manner. Karl Pohl acted as the director of the factory, and his son Leopold as his successor. In 1921 the Libněves estate was parceled out. In 1923 the construction of a narrow-gauge beet railway began , which led from the sugar factory over the embankment of the Žehuňský rybník, Žehuň , Choťovice , Korce and Končice to Radovesnice .

At the end of the 1920s, the factory was processing 8,000 quintals of beets a day in 24-hour operation. During the Great Depression , the company went bankrupt. The sugar factory was demolished in 1933. In 1959 the narrow-gauge railway line to Radovesnice was dismantled. On January 1, 1961, Libněves came to Okres Nymburk. In 1988 a new bridge was built over the Cidlina.
