history
The first written mention of Obcziers comes from 1350 and is in the archives of the Prague Collegiate Chapter . It is assumed that the place is much older and became extinct in the 12th century, because in a document of the Old Bunzlau canons dating back to 1052, all surrounding villages except Ovčáry and Nedomice are named.
In 1390 the village was divided into two parts. Part of it was owned by the royal marshal Jan Čuch von Zásada auf Lobkovice. Other owners of the secular share were Dietrich von Hrušov and the knights Karl and Hynko Vrábský. Because of participation in the uprising of 1547 the Vrábský were punished with the forfeiture of the male feud of the Vrábí rule. Rudolf II sold the Vrábí estate, including the Ovčáry farm, to Hynko Vrábský Tluksy of Vrábí, who added the goods to the Brandeis estate . The other part of the village belonged to the lords of Riesenburg and Osseg since the 15th century . From Sezima Beneš from Riesenburg this part came to Beneš Sekerka from Sedčice. This in turn sold his property in 1495 to Bartoš Bubna von Všebořice. After Bubna's death, the inheritance fell to his grandsons Sigmund and Heinrich Vančura von Řehnice. In 1604 Burian Vančura sold his goods to the town of Mělník . In 1615 the council of Mělník sold part of it, which also included Ovčáry, to King Matthias . The king gave the villages of Ovčáry, Nedomice and Všetaty to the Brandeis chamberlain .
During the Thirty Years War the village was ravaged by various armies. In 1620 it was the notorious Polish cavalry of Aleksander Józef Lisowski who burned down the villages of Mečeříž and Polerady . In 1625 there was social unrest in the whole of Brandeis, the rebels formed their own military unit, which fought under a white banner with a golden goblet. After the imperial troops had broken up the rebels, most of them left their Bohemian homeland and settled in Upper Lusatia , which was pledged to Electoral Saxony, around the town of Zittau . In 1631 troops from the Electorate of Saxony under Hans Georg von Arnheim invaded Wowtschar on the way from Melnik to Altbunzlau and laid the village in ruins. In 1638, the imperial family did the same. Vovchar was abandoned afterwards and lay desolate until 1662.
The first resident of the place after the resettlement was Johann Schulz in 1662, a descendant of the former innkeeper Martin Scholz. On the way to Prague on November 26th, 1741 Bavarian, French and Electoral Saxon troops united near Wowtschar. In 1744 the Prussians moved from Melnik to Altbunzlau and in the same year moved back to Zittau and Reichenberg . On May 1, 1757, the Prussian general Hans Karl von Winterfeldt von Elbeteinitz crossed the foot through the Wowtschar ford.
After the abolition of patrimonial Ovčáry became a part of the municipality Nedomice in the Karlín district in 1850. From 1882 the village initially fought unsuccessfully for its independence. In 1923 the municipality of Nedomice was assigned to the Brandýs nad Labem district . On October 16, 1924, Ovčáry gained its independence. In 1961 the community was assigned to the Okres Mělník .
