history

In the early Middle Ages, there was probably a farm belonging to the Oldříš Castle on the site of the village, where hunting dogs were bred. The court probably went out in the 13th century, and a Vladikensitz was built in its place in the 14th century . The first written mention of the village came in 1397, when Jan von Ohař sold a share of Němčice to Václav Zach von Ohař. Jan von Ohař was mentioned for the last time in 1415, the ownership situation is unknown for the subsequent period. From 1461 the estate belonged to Jan Korček of Božec. In 1514 Zikmund Korček also acquired Němčice and combined both goods. His second wife Anna, married to the Kolín baker Dibl, sold the Ohaře and Němčice estates in 1575 to Jan Libenický from Vrchoviště on Libenice . In 1593 his son Vratislav Libenický sold the Libenice manor with the Ohaře and Němčice estates to King Rudolf II , who united them with the Kolín Chamberlain. In 1751 a chapel was built on homestead No. 6. Two years later a new, larger chapel of St. John of Nepomuk as a branch of the parish Žehuň . In 1787 this chapel was raised to the status of a local church and expanded into a church in the years 1812–1813. In 1829, Emperor Franz I sold the Kolín Chamber of Commerce to the textile manufacturer Jacob Veith . On August 6, 1838, the church burned down.

In 1843 the rustic village of Wohař in the Kauřim district consisted of 58 houses in which 428 people lived, including ten Protestant and one Jewish family. Under the patronage of the Religious Fund stood the local church of St. Johannes von Nepomuk and the school. There was also an inn in the village. Wohař was the parish for Lhota Gestřaby , Niemtschitz , Domanowitz and Chrtschitz ; the place of office was Kaisersdorf . In the years 1846–1847 the church was rebuilt. Until the middle of the 19th century Wohař remained subject to the Kolín rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Vohaře formed from 1849 with the district Němčice a municipality in the judicial district of Kolin . In 1856 a parish was established. In 1860 Němčice broke away from Vohaře and formed its own municipality. 1862 acquired Franz Horsky the manorial Kolin from the heirs of Baron Wenceslas Veith. Horsky immediately initiated a modernization of agriculture. From 1868 the village belonged to the Kolin District . In 1869 Vohaře had 596 inhabitants and consisted of 89 houses. In 1898 a new school building was built. Between 1904 and 1907 the road from Elbeteinitz to Vohaře was built . In 1900, 674 people lived in Vohaře , in 1910 there were 750. Since 1924 Ohaře has been used as an official municipality name. In 1930 Ohaře had 593 inhabitants and consisted of 139 houses. From 1961 to 1990, Polní Chrčice and Dománovice were incorporated. At the 2001 census, there were 248 people in Ohaře's 144 houses. Since 2008 the community has had a coat of arms and a banner.
