history

Church of St. Nicholas

The most famous owner of Potfohre was Humpold († 1193). He lived in a fortress, in the courtyard of which there is the late Romanesque church of St. Nicholas, protected by ramparts and moats. After his death in 1193 his son Dětleb inherited the farm with the church; after his death, the property passed to Kuna († 1204) with his devout wife Agnes († after 1214). In 1193 she donated the village of Rybnitz to the Plaß monastery and, after the death of her husband in 1204, other lands. In 1214 she went on a pilgrimage to the Promised Land, from which she never returned.

Potfohre passed to the family of the Hrabischitz , who made a contribution to the final expansion of the church, especially under Kojata IV of Hrabischitz . His niece Euphemie received the place as a wedding present. With that the land went into the hands of Mr. Idík von Schwabenitz . Around 1241 Idik exchanged half for Sedlec near Pilsen , and in 1281 he gave the second half to the Order of the Protectors of the Divine Tomb on Zderaz in Prague , a foundation of the Hrabischitz family from the 12th century. The division of the village lasted for centuries.

After the death of King Ottokar II , a follow-up war broke out in Bohemia between the Bohemians and the Brandenburgers. Both owners of the village, Provost Peter von Zderaz and Abbot Gerhard von Plaß, finally agreed, after some disputes, that the fortified church should offer protection to members and subjects of both monasteries. The feudal men of the convent of Zderaz then lived on the upper floor of the church, the lower floor was reserved for subjects of the abbot von Plaß.

1323 it was recorded in the Confirmatio of King John of Luxembourg that Johann Monastery Zderaz and Vschebor von Schwabenitz got the village with the festivals and the patronage of the church as well as the neighboring communities Sedlec, Bukovina and Remeschin transferred .

Before the time of the Hussite Wars , there was another farm in the village. František Polcar mentioned Ambros von Potfohre , a Hussite captain whose domicile burned down during the Hussite Wars.

In 1420 Hanusch and Friedrich († 1423) received from Kolowrat from King Sigismund for their loyal service to the Crown Potfohre , Kralovice and other places. The provost of the Prague chapter and archiepiscopal administrator Hanusch II von Kolowrat bought back the formerly owned half and other lands from the Plaß monastery in 1480. The second half received his son Albrecht von Kolowrat , who in 1485 transferred it to Jetřich Bezdružický von Kolowrat . His son Jan Bezdružický von Kolowrat , guardian of the underage Jetřich II. Bezdružický von Kolowrat pledged Potfohre to Nikolaus Svitak von Landstein .

In 1531, King Ferdinand handed over the now abandoned monastery of God's tomb in Zderaz to Dorota von Duppau , with the permission to confiscate property that had since been sold and pledged. She demanded from Wilhelm Svitak von Landstein Potfohre and the surrounding communities. This refused to hand them over, so that a legal dispute arose. In the meantime Herr von Landstein died . Florian Griespek von Griespach , Herr auf Kaceřov, intervened as the third party, who obtained permission from the king to pay off Landstein's widow and to acquire Potfohre as an inheritance.

The part belonging to the Plaß monastery became part of the Rabštejn rule in 1607 by Joachim Libstein von Kolowrat (Jáchym Libštejnský z Kolovrat). After the Battle of White Mountain , his property was confiscated and a third was transferred to Albrecht von Wallenstein . It came after too many changes of ownership among Rabe Steinern until 1743 the Manetiner Maximilian Wenzel Lazansky of Buggau ( Maxmilian Václav Lažanský for Bukové ) on Castle Manětín acquired, which it until the fall of the feudal held 1848th

As part of the church restitution, Zderaz's share went to the monastery in Plaß, to which it belonged until it was dissolved by Rudolf II . Potfohre then came to the church fund and was acquired by Klemens Wenzel Lothar von Metternich in 1826 .

The long-term division shaped the face of the village. Each part had its own Schulzen, its own inn and its own blacksmith. This separation continued after the merger in 1849. Until 1912 it was customary for the mayor to come from one part of the town and the first councilor from the other.
