history
The first written mention of Měkynec was in 1334, when Margarethe von Rosenberg , the widow of Bavors III. von Strakonitz , a part of the Bavorov rule with the town of Bavorov and 24 villages to her brother Peter I. von Rosenberg . In 1351 his sons Peter , Jost , Ulrich and Johann acquired these goods from Wilhelm von Strakonitz against payment of 1000 shock Bohemian groschen. From 1357 the von Rosenberg brothers had the Helfenburg built on the Malošín . The new rule Helfenburg included the town Bavorov and Strunkovice and villages Hracholusky , Vitějovice , Žernovice , Nebahovy , Svojnice, Žíchovec, Lhota Nová, two villages called Lhota, Leskovec, Blanice Svinětice, Budyně , Netonice, Radějovice , Kváskovice , Skály , Záluží , Měkynec, Krajníčko , Štětín, Útěšov and Hájek . In 1593, the last Rosenberg, Peter Wok von Rosenberg, sold the Helfenburg estate with the abandoned Helfenburg for 40,000 Meißnish shock to the city of Prachatice . Because of the support of the Bohemian uprising , Prachatice lost its possessions through imperial confiscation after the battle of the White Mountain . The former rule of Helfenburg, now known as Gut Barau , fell to the Bohemian Chamber . In 1622, Emperor Ferdinand II gave the Nettolitz estate and the Barau estate to Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg, President of the Court Chamber, for his services in the Catholic League . This united both properties in one dominium with the official village of Peterhof . After the Eggenberg family died out in 1719, the allodial rule of Nettolitz and the Barau estate fell to the Schwarzenbergs .
In 1840 Miekinetz / Měkinec consisted of 31 houses with 240 Czech-speaking residents. The village was the seat of a lordly court for the villages Miekinetz, Kranitz , Saluschy ( Záluží ) and Autieschow ( Útěšov ). The parish was Blsko . Until the middle of the 19th century, Miekinetz always remained subject to the allodial rule Nettolitz and the Barau estate.
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Měkynec / Miekinetz 1850 with the hamlet Krajníčko a municipality in the district administration and the judicial district Písek Vodňany. In 1907 Krajníčko broke up and formed its own community. In the course of the establishment of the Okres Vodňany Měkynec was assigned to this in 1949 and after its abolition in 1960 became part of the Okres Strakonice . On April 1, 1967, it was incorporated into Bílsko. Since November 24, 1990, Měkynec has again formed its own municipality.
