history
Vojice
Vojice was first mentioned in documents in 1357 as the seat of Vladiken Zdeněk von Vojice. In 1515 Jan Vojický from Nová Ves bought the Vojice fortress. Until the 17th century, the owners took turns and the festival went out. After the Battle of White Mountain , Albrecht von Waldstein bought Vojice in 1624.
From 1718 the Carthusian monastery in Valdice belonged to the following owners . After the secularization of the monastery in the course of the Josephine reforms, the rule of Valdice passed into imperial possession. The Vojice farm was parceled out and 20 settlers founded the Kabáty settlement.
After the abolition of patrimonial Vojice became a municipality in the Hradec Králové district in 1850, to which the districts Podhorní Oujezd and Kabáty belonged. Until the 19th century Vojice was an agricultural village, in which mainly fruit was grown due to its favorable location on the southern slope of Mlázovický Chlum. In particular, its cherry plantations made Vojice famous.
Podhorní Oujezd became independent in 1880. In 1897 Vojice was one of the first villages in Bohemia where Jan Hus was erected. Two years later, a secondary craft and trade school for sandstone processing companies opened in the village. From 1900 the village belonged to the Nová Paka district and from the 1930s to the Okres Hořice. In the course of the reform of the vocational school system, the Vojice craft and trade school was dissolved in 1932.
During the territorial reform of 1960 Vojice was incorporated into Podhorní Újezd on January 1, 1961 and at the same time came to Okres Jičín.
Podhorní Újezd
The first written mention of the village came in 1408. Podhorny Ougezd was like the north-western Vojice a village of fruit and vegetable farmers.
Around 1800, Count Trauttmansdorff opened the stately sandstone quarry at the foot of the Maxinec. In the course of the 19th century, more quarries were added, in 1860 there were already 17 quarries in the village. After the abolition of patrimonial Podhorní Oujezd formed from 1850 a district of the Vojice municipality in the Hradec Králové district. The change of the village to a center for stone breakers and stonemasons led to independence as a community in 1880. In 1882 the stone industry employed 200 workers. Horschitz sandstone from Podhorní Újezd was used for the construction of the National Theater , the Emperor Franz Joseph train station and the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague , as well as for numerous buildings in Budapest and Vienna . It still plays an important role in the preservation of monuments and architecture in the Czech Republic.
From 1900 Podhorný Újezd belonged to the Nová Paka district.
On the occasion of the trade and art exhibition of 1903 in Horschitz , a consortium of master stonemasons from Podhorní Újezd created the twelve-meter-high and 32-tonne Rieger obelisk, which was erected there on the Gotthard hill. The number of employees in Podhorní Újezd's 23 quarries and stonemasons, which also had their own health insurance , was between 300 and 600 between 1906 and 1910. In the 1930s, the village became part of Okres Hořice. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960, the municipality came to Okres Jičín on January 1, 1961. At the same time Vojice was incorporated. On February 1, 1991 the municipality changed the name Podhorní Újezd to Podhorní Újezd a Vojice .
