history

The village Marcowichi , located on the Libitzer Landessteig, was first mentioned in 1282 when the Prague Bishop Tobias von Bechin ceded the village, including the patronage rights of the Church of St. George, to the abbot of the Benedictine monastery Wilimow in exchange for the monastic village of Sulice . Two years later transferred Bishop Tobias at the request of the abbot Jaroslav the Pleban Chechon ( CEC ) in Marcouich also the ecclesiastical duties in Zehuby . Until the Hussite Wars , Markovice belonged to the possessions of the Wilimow Benedictine Abbey. During an attack of the Taborites to Žleb in 1427 the village was destroyed Markovice. It was not rebuilt and its corridors were incorporated into the Žleb manor.

In 1692, the Baron von Kaiserstein had the church of Saints on the Markowitzer Höhe above the Markuskirche. Erect Anna. From 1736 Josef von Schönfeld and from 1746 the princes Auersperg belonged to the owners . In 1787 there were 25 houses in Zehub and Žehuby .

In 1840 the one-layer Markowitz , located in the Caslauer Kreis and conscripted to Žleb, consisted of four houses. There were two branch churches dedicated to St. Markus and St. Anna, a stately Meierhof, a dominical hunter's house, a brick hut and an inn. The parish and administrative center was Žleb. Until the middle of the 19th century, Markowitz remained subject to the allodial rule of Žleb.

After the abolition of patrimonial Markovice formed from 1849 a settlement of the market town Žleby in the judicial district of Časlau . From 1868 the place belonged to the Časlau district . In 1869 Markovice had 17 inhabitants and consisted of 3 houses. In 1900 there were 134 people in Markovice, compared to 133 in 1910. In 1909 Franz Josef von Auersperg received permission to demolish the dilapidated St. Anne's Church; Three years later, the new grave chapel of St. Anna of the Auersperg family was consecrated in its place . The chapel, visible from afar, became a dominant feature of the area between Žleby and Čáslav. The amphibolite quarry operated by the Auersperg family on the Markowitzer Höhe experienced a major expansion in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1930 Markovice had 95 inhabitants and consisted of 9 houses. During the territorial reform of 1960, the place was assigned to the Okres Kutná Hora . The Markovice quarry was considered largely exhausted at the beginning of the 1970s, as the 50 m protection zone at the listed St. Anne's Chapel had been reached. On the basis of a geological survey of the Markowitzer Höhe carried out between 1976 and 1977, which revealed an amphibolite deposit of 1.4 million m³, the monument protection was lifted in 1984 and two years later, after the bones were transferred to the Markuskirche, the demolition of the chapel. Markovice has been designated as a district of Žleby since 1999. In the 2001 census, there were 44 people in Markovice's 14 houses.
