history

Archaeological finds show an intensive early settlement of the area during the Stone , Iron and Bronze Ages . During the demolition of the hill "Na Kopci" in 1884 a Romanesque bronze aquiminarium in the shape of a lion and a bronze turibulum from the 13th century were found.

Rokytno is a foundation of the Opatowitz Benedictine monastery . The village was probably established in the 13th century together with Borek , Bukovina nad Labem and other localities at the time of Abbot Andreas II, who cleared forests and bushes and settled the swamp area. In the Middle Ages, there was a festival on the sand hill "Na Kopci" . After the monastery was looted and burned down by the Hussites under Diviš Bořek von Miletínek in 1421 , the latter seized the extensive possessions.

Rokytno was first mentioned in a document in 1436, when King Sigismund transferred large parts of the former monastery property to Diviš Bořek, who formed the Kunburg domain from it . At the end of the 15th century Wilhelm von Pernstein acquired the dominions of Pardubitz and Kunburg and united them. He had several ponds built in the vicinity of the village. Wilhelm von Pernstein bequeathed his Bohemian goods to his younger son Vojtěch in 1521 , after his death they passed to his brother Johann in 1534 . In 1548 he left his son Jaroslav in high debt. On March 21, 1560 Jaroslav von Pernstein sold the entire rule of Pardubitz to King Ferdinand I. His successor Maximilian II transferred the administration of the royal lords to the court chamber . This let the rule of Pardubitz reorganize through a system of 24 Rychta ( Scholtiseien ); in 1588 the Rychtář in Dříteč exercised the lower jurisdiction for Rokytno.

After the Josephinian tolerance patent of 1781, so-called Deists ( blouznivci ) gained significant influence in the area of ​​Rokytno, Býšť and Chvojenec ; 52 families in Rokytno and Chvojenec had committed themselves to this. The Deists did not belong to the recognized churches and rejected baptism, the Ten Commandments and the Christian form of marriage; as they caused great difficulties for the authorities, they soon attacked the sectarians with canes. In 1794 a school was established in Rokytno.

In 1835 the village of Rokitno in the Chrudim district consisted of 58 houses in which 479 people, including a Protestant and a Jewish family, lived. The parish was Beyscht . Until the middle of the 19th century Rokitno remained subordinate to the Imperial and Royal Chamber of Commerce Pardubice.

After the abolition of patrimonial Rokytno formed a community in the judicial district of Pardubice from 1849 . In 1851 a new school building was built. In 1857 a branch of the kuk military stud Nemošice was established . In 1860 a water mill was built on the Bejštačka. From 1868 the village belonged to the political district of Pardubice . In 1869 Hrachovišťata was incorporated; at that time Rokytno had 643 inhabitants and consisted of 80 houses. In 1876, two-class instruction was started in the school. In 1881 a new school was built. The voluntary fire brigade was founded in 1882. In 1883, the Rokytenský rybník pond was created on the south-west side of the mill. Significant archaeological discoveries were made in 1884 when the castle stables were removed from the desert fortresses. The main source of income for the residents was agriculture, especially flax cultivation; In 1889 a flax kiln was built. Hrachovišťata formed its own municipality again from 1890. On the way to Nový Drahoš, a brick factory was built in 1891 and existed until 1951. The horse breeding station was given up in 1897. Another brick factory was built in 1906 west of the village on the dirt road to Bohumilečský rybník. In 1900 611 people lived in the village, in 1910 there were 623. In 1907 the school was rebuilt. After flax processing was stopped in 1908, the drying hut was demolished in 1924. Due to the permanent lack of water, the mill was finally shut down in 1923. In 1930 Rokytno had 645 inhabitants. In 1949 Rokytno was assigned to the Okres Holice. Since 1960 the community has belonged again to Okres Pardubice . In 1961 Nový Drahoš (previously the district of Chvojenec ) and Starý Drahoš (previously the district of Dolní Ředice ) were reclassified to Rokytno and the district Drahoš was formed from it. In 1964 the construction of a swimming pool began, which was opened in 1967. In 1976 Bohumileč (with Zástava na Prutě) and Újezd (with Zástava) were incorporated. The school closed in 1982; it was reopened in 1991 and expanded in 1996. Újezd ​​and Zástava broke up again in 1990 and formed their own community. In the 2001 census, 565 people lived in the 168 houses of Rokytno. The municipality had 905 inhabitants in 2018, of which 677 lived in Rokytno, 152 in Bohumileč, 39 in Zástava and 37 in Drahoš.
