history

The first written mention of Rataje was in a papal tithe list of the deanery Bechin for the years 1352-1405. In the 14th century the village was divided between several landlords. The fortress was owned by Petr Stolice from Rataje and his son Jan in 1360. In the years 1368-1369 it belonged to Jan from Podol, who also called himself Ješek Švenkl from Vršovice. The other part with a Vorwerkshof and two Kretschen owned Purkart and Pureš von Rataje († before 1385). Both shared the church patronage. Jan's sons Oneš and Beneš von Podol pledged the Podolí share associated with the Podolí estate because of a debt of 2,000 groschen to Johann von Rosenberg . From 1385 Jan Stolice von Rataje, who also owned the Rakov farm, owned the other part, called the Rakov part. In 1395 Bohuslav acquired the Rakov share from Hrádek or Hradnice. Together with the Podolí estate, Johann Bechinie von Lazan acquired the Podol share in Rataje between 1440 and 1445. After the parish was extinguished - probably during the Hussite Wars - the church became a locality of the Dechanteikirche Bechin. When the estate was divided between the three sons of Johann Bechinie, Burian Bechinie received the rule of Bechin from Lazan in 1477. The accessories included the desert fortress Podolí with a farm, the village and a mill near Podolí, the villages of Rakov and Borovany , the desert village of Lhota, half of the town of Bernartice with the church patronage and the farm yard Rataje including farms ( dvory kmetcí ) mentioned.

In 1594 Peter sold Bechinie von Lazan Rataje to Christoph Haslauer von Haslau . He owned three quarters of the Dobronitz estate and had a small castle built in Rataje as his seat. According to Christoph Haslauer's last will, written in 1616, his property was to be divided among his six sons. When Haslauer died in 1618, the Thirty Years' War had broken out and the intended heir to Rataje, Heinrich d. Ä. Haslauer already fallen during the uprising. The inheritance fell jointly to his younger brothers Heinrich d. J., Johann d. J., Adam d. J., Georg and Wenzel Haslauer, who sold the Rataje estate with the village of Zběšice to their brother in 1618. However, this purchase, which was concluded during the uprising, had not yet become legally binding through an entry in the land table . The confiscation commission set up after the Battle of White Mountain in 1620 condemned the brothers Heinrich d. J. and Johann d. J. Haslauer on the loss of a third of their property. The Landtäflische Gut Ratay with the castle, the Vorwerkshof, two farmers, two cottagers and three subjects in Kozín was confiscated. The royal chamber then sold the estate for 6,000 shock to Adam Imperial Count von Sternberg , who united it with his reign of Bechin. After Johann Joseph von Sternberg drowned together with his wife Marie Violanta Teresia von Preysing and their three-year-old daughter Marie Violanta on June 13, 1700 on their way home from a visit to the Gnadenkapelle Altötting near Passau in the Inn , the one-year-old Marie Theresie Violanta von Sternberg inherited the Domination. In 1715 she married Johann Leopold Graf von Paar , whose descendants owned the estate afterwards. In 1787 a pastor was reinstated in Ratay by the religion fund . In 1840 Ratay consisted of 53 houses with 404 inhabitants, including two Israelite families. In the village, under the patronage of the Religious Fund, the Church of St. Dreifaltigkeit, a localist house and the school as well as the stately Meierhof. In Ratay there was also a Dominical mutton farm, a Dominical saltpeter boiler, a Dominical potash boiler, an inn and a two-speed mill with a board saw. Ratay was the parish and school location for Altsattel, Dobronitz , Kozin and the Wiktora mill. Ratay always remained submissive to Bechin until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Rataje / Ratay 1850 with the hamlet Kozin a municipality in the district administration Milevsko / Mulhouse and the Judicial District Bechyně / Bechin. After the dissolution of the Okres Milevsko, the community was assigned to the Okres Tábor in late 1960 . In 1964 Haškovcova Lhota was incorporated. After a referendum, Haškovcova Lhota broke away from Rataje on November 24, 1990 and formed its own municipality.
