history

Pěkov was probably founded around 1256 in the course of the colonization of the Politzer Sprengels by the Břevnov monastery under German emphyteutical law. The first documentary mention of the village took place in 1395 in a confirmation document from King Wenceslas IV about the property of the Břevnov monastery. According to the Břevnov land register of 1406, Pěkov consisted of ten interest-bearing hubs and a quarter, of which the mayor had six rods and the miller had two rods.

Pěkov then belonged to the Braunau monastery for centuries and was under the Politz provost's office . The Czech-speaking village was on the language border, the north, east and west villages were German-speaking. When the Prussian King Friedrich II moved to Bohemia again with his entourage during the War of the Austrian Succession after the Battle of Hohenfriedberg , he set up camp on June 15, 1745 on the V Úvozích hill between Pěkov and Bukovice. During the Seven Years' War , the Imperial Colonel Laudon had the Falkengebirge passes between Bodisch and Hutberg fortified in 1758. The Prussian troops, who drove the inhabitants of the villages below as hostages, did not succeed in conquering the Laudon entrenchments; they were defeated on April 11, 1758 by Laudon. In August of the same year a Prussian army again moved through the area and destroyed the Laudonschanzen. Field Marshal Lieutenant Beck had the fortifications restored in June 1759 with the support of the residents of Náchod ; During this time he was quartered in the Pěkov Scholtisei. During these years the village was plundered several times by both warring parties and the residents fled to the surrounding forests; the troops also brought the plague and other diseases.

After the abolition of the Politz Propstei by Emperor Joseph II in 1775, the Politz monastery was formed from it; on condition that an annual lump sum was paid from the income to the religious fund, it remained in the possession of the Braunau- Breunau double abbey . During the Napoleonic Wars in 1813, 36,000 Prussian and 46,000 Russian soldiers passed through.

In 1836 the village of Pikau or Pěkow in the Königgrätzer Kreis consisted of 86 houses in which 647 people lived. There was a school in the village where the children from Hutberg were also taught, and a mill. The parish was Politz. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subject to the Politz monastery.

After the abolition of patrimonial Pěkov / Piekau formed a municipality in the judicial district of Politz from 1849 . In 1866, during the German War , Prussian troops again plundered the village and harassed the residents. In 1868 Pěkov was assigned to the Braunau district . In May 1881 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. After the Munich Agreement remained Pěkov / Piekau in "Resttschechei" and was assigned to the náchod district. Until 1945, Pěkov was a border town with the German Empire, with the exception of the south, the border ran almost around the entire village. On May 9, 1945, the Red Army occupied the place. After the end of the Second World War, Pěkov came back to Okres Broumov. In 1949 Hony was incorporated. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 the Okres Broumov was abolished, since then Pěkov has belonged to the Okres Náchod. On July 1, 1985 it was incorporated into Police nad Metují. In 1991 Pěkov had 245 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 129 houses in which 249 people lived.
