history

The first written mention of the desert Martinczova samota took place in 1492 in the course of the division of the Stepanitz rule between Hynko and Heník von Waldstein , whereby the place was subordinate to the newly formed Jilemnice rule. Over time, the wasteland expanded to the village of Martinicze . In 1522, Hynko von Waldstein sold the rule to Arnošt from Újezdec and Kounice, whom his sons Arnošt and Záviš Jilemnický from Újezdec and Kounice inherited. Then Záviš's daughter Anna Křinecká inherited the property from Ronov. She was followed by her son Dobromysl († 1585) and after his death his younger brother Albrecht Bohumír, who left the management of the property to his wife Katharina Miřkovský von Tropčice. Katharina Křinecká and her three daughters Anna, Barbara and Alena had to sell the rulership to Albrecht von Waldstein in 1624 for 70,000 Meißnian shock to form a state of the Duchy of Friedland . Since Waldstein owed the purchase price, Katharina Křinecká was still the owner of the goods. After Waldstein's murder, Katharina sold the rulership in 1637 for 64,000 Meißnian shock to her son-in-law Johann Wilhelm Harant von Polschitz and Weseritz, a son of Christoph Harant von Polschitz and Weseritz , who was married to their daughter Barbara. The following owners were Christoph Gottfried, Adolf Wilhelm and Franz Paul Harant von Polschitz and Weseritz. The latter sold the rule in 1701 to Count Bonaventura Harrach , who already owned Stepanitz and united both parts into one rule. In 1834, 638 predominantly Czech-speaking residents lived in the 77 houses in Martinitz. Below the village was a large fish pond where the bush mill ( Martinický mlýn ) was located. The parish was Roztoky . Until the middle of the 19th century, Martinitz was always subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Starkenbach.

After the abolition of patrimonial Martinitz / Merzdorf formed from 1850 with the district Rovnáčov a municipality in the district administration Starkenbach / Jilemnice . In 1871 Martinice received a train station on the Velký Osek – Trutnov railway line, which initially bore the name of the nearby district town of Starkenbach / Jilemnice. In 1899 the branch line to Rochlitz / Rokytnice went into operation.

An economic boom in the village was associated with the railway connection. In 1884 František Horáček founded a farm and a game export company. In 1890 a mechanical weaving mill was established in Martinice, which later operated as Kolora . In the interwar period, the Horáček farm exported live game around the world. The place was on the German-Czech language border. As a result of the Munich Agreement , Martinice became a border town with the German Reich between 1938 and 1945. After the Second World War, the Counts of Harrach were expropriated in 1945. The farm closed in 1950.

In the course of the abolition of the Okres Jilemnice, Martinice was assigned to the Okres Semily in 1960 and at the same time incorporated into Studenec. After the Velvet Revolution , the inhabitants of Martinice decided to form their own municipality, in Rovnáčov the referendum was in favor of staying with the immediately following Studenec. The municipality Martinice , which was established on September 1, 1990, changed its name to Martinice v Krkonoších on May 1, 1991 . Since 1997 the community has had a coat of arms and a banner. The Kolora ceased operations in 1999.

Masaryk monument

• Monument to TG Masaryk, erected in front of the school in 1930 on the initiative of the headmaster Josef Horák. The sandstone bust was the work of the sculptor Alois Khun from Vojice. In 1962, the school principal Vladislav Škopán had the monument smashed and the rubble removed from the Kolora . The badly damaged Masaryk's head was hidden there and, after the Communists had left, was taken out of hiding on May 7, 1990. Using parts of the old monument, the Prague sculptor Richard Kracík created a new bust, which was unveiled in front of the school in 1992.
• Plačící vlast ( Weeping Fatherland ) memorial , it was built in 1921 to commemorate the local men who died during the First World War. A linden tree was planted on both sides, the liberty linden tree and the masaryk linden tree. In 1930 it was moved from the junction at the Kolora , where it had suffered from increasing traffic, to the new cemetery.

Borovský monument

• Monument to Karel Havlíček Borovský , it was unveiled on October 28, 1932 during the Freedom Festival on the Liberty Linden tree. The prehistory of this monument has not yet been clarified; there is no evidence that Havlíček was ever in Martinice. The monument is also said to have been erected on the initiative of Josef Horák, but his original plans included a Comenius monument, which was rejected by the Catholic population. The obvious basic idea was a demonstration of the Czech identity of Martinice during the time of the nationality conflict. With the poet and politician Havlíček Borovský, a suitable personality of the Czech national movement was finally found, who should look to the Germans in the village on the language border. The monument was repaired in 2007 and its surroundings were redesigned. The tall silver spruce and linden trees that had already grown into the power lines were cut down and a forsythia and privet hedge planted in their place; thus the overgrown monument came into its own again.
• Memorial plaque for František Jebavý (1898–1919), on the house where he was born, a chalet on the road to Zálesní Lhota. It was unveiled on August 30, 1938 and reinstalled in 1989. Jebavý died in Berehovo during the Czechoslovak-Hungarian border conflict .
