history
The area of Mnichovice belonged to the settlement area of the Slavic tribe of the Zličans in the 9th century. After their tribal princes died out, the Slavnikids took over the area. After the slaughter of the Slavnikid princes , their lands came to the Přemyslids in 995 .
The first written mention of Mnichovicí or Mnichovicium can be found in 1134 in the chronicle of the Sasau monk Monachus Sazavensis . He also reports that Abbot Sylvester in 1140 in the village of Mnichovice, which belongs to the Sázava monastery, gave a monastery to St. Michael had a basilica consecrated. The residents lived mainly from charcoal burning and sold their goods on the Prague cabbage market. After the village grew, the Romanesque church became too small. After its expansion and redesign in Gothic style, it was consecrated around 1330 to the Birth of Mary. In 1420 Mnichovice was designated as a town. After the conquest of the Sázava monastery by the Hussites in 1421, Wilhelm Kostka von Postupitz received the town as a gift for his services and connections to the Lithuanian prince Vytautas . In 1484 Vladislav II gave Mnichovice a city coat of arms and the right to hold two annual fairs. In 1510 Mnichovice acquired Ernst von Leskovec on Cerekev . He was followed in 1516 by Albrecht Rendl von Uschau , who joined Mnichovice to the Komorní hrádek rule . At that time Mnichovice also had blood justice , the executions were carried out by the Kouřim executioner. After all documents were destroyed in the fire of the Bailiwick in 1531, the owner of the rule Jaroslav von Schellenberg asked the Bohemian and Roman-German King Ferdinand I to renew his privileges. In 1554 Johann von Waldstein acquired the rule. He was followed in 1576 by Adam the Younger of Waldstein.
After the Battle of the White Mountain , Adam von Waldstein got back the place occupied by the war people since 1618 and carried out the re-Catholicization. In 1631 the place burned down. Johann Karl von Waldstein wanted to buy the brewing rights from the town in 1676. After his offer was rejected because Mnichovice would have lost an important source of income, Waldstein set up his own manorial economy in Mnichovice and sold his beer there. The plague broke out in 1680 and 1713. In 1733 the Waldsteiners sold Mnichovice to Johann Adolf Graf Metsch. On August 23, 1746, a city fire destroyed the church and 20 houses. With Johann Joseph Khevenhüller -Metsch, the Princely House of Khevenhüller became the owner of Mnichovice until 1848. In 1814 the town hall and 16 houses burned down. In 1832, 1836 and 1866, cholera broke out in Mnichovice.
After the abolition of patrimonial Mnichovice became an independent market town in the Český Brod district in 1848 . In 1852 Mnichovice was erroneously specified as a city in the military admission. This mistake went unnoticed and was taken over by other offices. In 1865 the brewery burned down. From 1900 the "town" Mnichovice belonged to the Žižkov district and from 1921 to the Říčany district . After the Second World War, the city's status was not renewed. On January 1, 1961, the municipality of Mnichovice came to Okres Praha-východ , at the same time Božkov and Myšlín were incorporated. Mnichovice was elevated to a city on May 19, 2000.
