history

The first written mention of the village took place in 1257 under the name Vicemilice dolní as the property of the Hons of Vicemilice. East of the village, the Vicemilice Pass, protected by Stoupec Castle, was the most passable path into the Iron Mountains, one of which led from the church through a deep ravine, now called Myší díra ( Mouse Hole ), into the mountains to Vícemilice horní and Hody. The parish church was built in the 14th century. In 1464 a fortress was mentioned in Vicemilice . In 1478 Slawata acquired the property from Chlum and added it to his rule Chlum. The Vicemilice fortress then went out. The parish in Vicemilice was abolished around 1623. The current place name Licoměřice is recorded for the first time in 1654. The village later became subject to Žleb's allodial rule.

In 1840 the rustic village Licoměřitz consisted of 30 houses in which 187 people lived. There was a branch church of St. Katharina, a private school and a Dominikal mill. The one-layer Chibka or Chybka, consisting of an inn and a forge, was enrolled in Licoměřitz . In the forest north of the village there was a stately limestone quarry with two lime kilns. The parish was Žleb .

After the abolition of patrimonial Licoměřice formed a municipality in the judicial district of Časlau from 1849 . From 1868 the place belonged to the Časlau district .

At the end of the Second World War, the first group of the Mistr Jan Hus partisan brigade formed in the Soviet Union was deposed on October 26, 1944 between Podhořany, Lovčice and Starkoč . The villages of Lipovec and Licoměřice became the first bases of the Mistr Jan Hus brigade . After the Gestapo arrested two members of the group , the residents of both villages were targeted by the German occupiers in December 1944. On December 19, 1944, Lipovec and Licoměřice were surrounded by the SS and gendarmerie and all men between the ages of 16 and 70 were arrested. The 106 men were brought to the 4th courtyard of the Theresienstadt concentration camp via Čáslav and Kolín ; 30 of them did not survive imprisonment or died shortly after their liberation as a result of the consequences.

In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 the Okres Čáslav was abolished, Licoměřice was assigned to the Okres Chrudim. In 1961 it was incorporated into Lipovec. Since then, both villages have grown together to form a closed development. Uranerz was mined between Licoměřice and Březinka between 1968 and 1982. The mine workings reached a depth of over 200 m, 780 tons of uranium were extracted. In 1976 Licoměřice was incorporated into Ronov nad Doubravou . Since August 31, 1990 Licoměřice is again part of Lipovec. On March 3, 1991 the place had 105 inhabitants; in the 2001 census, 110 people lived in the 52 houses in Licoměřice. Below the village, a sewage treatment plant for the pit water from the uranium mine was built on the Kurvice in the 1990s.
