history

The first written mention of the parish village Rozhovice took place in 1131. Rozhovice used to be a separate landed estate, which was later united with the Heřmanův Městec estate. Between 1597 and 1645 the Doubrava settlement was established. Johann von Sporck had the church rebuilt. Further landlords after the Counts of Sporck were the Barons von Greiffenclau from 1798 and the Princes Kinsky from 1828 .

In 1835 the village of Rozhowitz , located in the Chrudim district , consisted of 14 houses in which 183 people lived. In the place there was the branch church to the apostles St. Peter and Paul as well as a Meierhof. The one-layer Alt-Daubrawa ( Doubrava ), consisting of four houses and a windmill, was consolidated at Rozhowitz . The parish was Heřmanmiestetz . Until the middle of the 19th century Rozhowitz remained subject to the allodial rule of Heřmanmiestetz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Rozhovice formed from 1849 with the district Doubrava a municipality in the judicial district of Chrudim . From 1868 the municipality belonged to the political district of Chrudim . Between 1897 and 1899 the railway line Heřmanův Městec – Borohrádek was laid.

At the beginning of 1976 Rozhovice was incorporated into Heřmanův Městec . Rozhovice has existed again since August 31, 1990.
