history

In the 9th and 10th century moved along the Vltava and Malše the Dúdlebi Slavic tribe. Based on the distribution of preserved grave mounds, the area of ​​today's municipality was on the southern border of its settlement area.

The first written mention of the circular village of Zločedice was made in 1360 as one of the 144 localities belonging to the Velešín lordship . At that time the owners were the lords of Michalovice, who were succeeded by the lords of Rosenberg from 1387 . On October 28, 1418 Ulrich II of Rosenberg freed the residents of Ločedice from their subjection. On March 7, 1559, Wilhelm von Rosenberg obliged the village to deliver four shock chickens a year to the Goldenkron monastery . In 1596 the place was first referred to as Ločenice . In 1711 large parts of the village burned down. A small chapel was built in the center of the village in 1731. After the pastor Joanes Bernardius Riezenschopfer saw an apparition above the Ločenitz mountain in 1732 , which he called for a revelation of St. John of Nepomuk held, he had a pilgrimage chapel built there that same year, which was completed in 1735. On November 27, 1737, Johann Friedrich Anton Vorteil, Imperial Count von Wartenberg auf Klein Umlowitz, bought six properties in Ločenice from the Krumlov domain . The next owner was Josef Gundakar Graf Thürheim, who sold Ločenice to Franz Leopold von Buquoy on September 1, 1751 . This made the estate part of the Gratzen rule . In the same year Ločenice was exempted from delivering chickens to the Goldenkron monastery in exchange for 300 guilders. Between 1777 and 1782 the pilgrimage chapel was extended to form a church, which in 1786 received a 37 m high tower. The settlement Svatý Jan / Johannesberg , which was under the administration of Ločenice, was built around the church . The district of the new Johannesberg parish included the villages of Ločenice, Sedlce, Mokrý Lom and Polžov with 4020 parish members. Together with the rectory, a school was built in Svatý Jan in the years 1787–1789. In 1786 Ločenice consisted of 22 houses and 107 inhabitants. At the end of the 18th century the community consisted of 37 farms, a chalet and a tavern. This upswing continued in the 19th century due to the profitable agriculture despite the lack of industrial companies. In addition, there were craftsmen, especially carpenters and bricklayers, who also did their work in Austria and the German states. In 1840, 368 Czechs lived in the 63 houses in Ločenice / Lotschenitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village always remained subservient to Gratzen.

After the abolition of patrimonial Ločenice / Lotschenitz formed from 1850 with the district Svatojanské Hory / Johannesberg a municipality in the district administration Budějovice / Budweis. In 1884 the land in the village was measured by a geometer. In 1887 the education authority bought the Šťastný family's tavern for 3380 guilders as a school building. Between 1888 and 1889 the school house was expanded. At the beginning of the 20th century the village had a chapel, a forge with a bell tower and clockwork, and since 1909 a poor house. In 1910 Ločenice had 836 inhabitants. On April 16, 1914, Svatý Jan / Johannesberg applied for the formation of its own municipality by mutual agreement with Ločenice, the latter assuring the cession of the Radištnej forest without compensation. The outbreak of World War I and the collapse of the monarchy delayed a decision. In 1921 there were 741 Czechs and one Italian living in the village. On December 13, 1922, the Ministry of the Interior of Czechoslovakia, founded in 1918, approved the separation of Svatý Jan and the creation of a separate cadastral district. In 1924 Ločenice consisted of 133 houses, two inns, two tobacco shops, two grocery stores and a baker. The population consisted mostly of farmers. The majority of the residents, however, were bricklayers, carpenters and construction workers who moved to work abroad after the end of winter. At the census of 1930 there were 644 Czechs, seven Germans and one Slovak and one Italian living in Ločenice. The place consisted of 142 houses, three of which were uninhabited. 450 of the residents were Catholic, 37 Hussite and 166 non-denominational. In Ločenice there were 21 completely illiterate people, and nine other residents were virtually ignorant of reading and writing. In 1933 a volunteer fire brigade was formed. After the end of the Second World War, 48 families from Ločenice moved to the border areas, 14 of them settled in Bujanov . In 1948 the village was added to the newly formed Okres Trhové Sviny, which was repealed twelve years later. From 1949 Ločenice received administrative tasks for the surrounding communities and was the seat of the registrar for Nesměň, Něchov, Todeň, Polžov, Mokrý Lom and Branišovice. At the beginning of 1961, Nesměň was incorporated; at the same time the community was assigned to the Okres České Budějovice. In 1961 the cultural center with its 275 m² hall was inaugurated; today it is the Hostinec pod Ločenickou horou inn . In the 1960s, the local national committee (MNV) decided to redesign the village square. The chapel was demolished and the upper part of the square was converted into a park after the chestnuts were felled. The liberty linden trees were preserved. Even before the Velvet Revolution , on October 28, 1989, the citizens of Ločenice applied for the Masaryk bust, which had been removed in 1938 and preserved by Růženy Mikšlová, to be re-erected in its old place at the memorial to the fallen of the First World War. This project was initially rejected by both the MNV and the local branch of the KSČ. However, after a discussion in the public meeting, the MNV revised its decision, so that after repairs to the bust it was erected on March 11, 1990.
