history
Archaeological finds indicate an early settlement. In Lukovná a settlement with a burial ground was found, which is to be assigned to the Silesian Platenitz ( slezskoplatěnická kultura ) and the Lusatian culture . At Počáply finds from the Neolithic and a settlement from the La Tène and Roman times were found. Bronze objects have been found near Velké Koloděje. In the urban area of Sezemice, grave fields of the Aunjetitz culture and Lusatian culture as well as a settlement from the Lusatian period were discovered.
The time of origin of the place is unknown. The name Sezemice indicates that it was founded by Sezema from Kostomlat to Kostomlaty , who also owned large estates in the vicinity of Pardubice . Sezemice was located on the medieval trade connection Trstenická stezka ( Strenitzer Steig ), which originated from here in the Elbe valley and led along the Loučná to Moravia . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1227 in the will of Kojata IV of Hrabischitz , who bequeathed Szemice to the Cistercian monastery Sedlec together with three other goods . The Cistercian convent Sezemice was founded around 1265 . Around 1333 the monastery burned down and a little later the buildings suffered severe damage in a storm. After the reconstruction, the monastery was able to acquire additional goods. On April 28, 1421, a group of Taborites and Prague citizens led by Jan Žižka moved from the Opatovice monastery to Sezemice and conquered the monastery. It was burned down and then went out.
Diviš Bořek z Miletínka appropriated the orphaned monastery rule with the associated villages, who attached it to his castle Kunětická Hora . In 1436 the Königgrätzer invaded Sezemice and burned the place down in revenge for the heavy defeat suffered at Plačice . In the second half of the 15th century, Heinrich the Elder received power from Münsterberg . The survey as a minority must also have taken place during this time . In 1488 Heinrich von Münsterberg u. a. also the town of Sezemice to Jan Anděl of Ronovec ( Jan Anděl z Ronovce ). Wilhelm II von Pernstein acquired the property from him in 1491, which granted Sezemice several privileges. He was followed in 1521 by his son Vojtěch von Pernstein (1490–1534) . After he died without male descendants, his brother Johann von Pernstein (1487–1548) took over the inheritance in 1534. In 1548 Johann's son Jaroslav inherited his father's huge estates, but had to sell the Pardubice and Kunětická Hora estates to his creditor Jan Kapoun Ritter von Svojkov in 1560 due to excessive indebtedness . He sold the goods to the Bohemian Chamber as early as 1561 . In 1570 and 1584 large parts of the town burned down.
During the Thirty Years War in 1623 imperial troops invaded Sezemice en route to Hungary. They looted and set fire to the brewery and parts of the town. In 1645 this happened again through the Swedes under Lennart Torstensson , who moved from Pardubice to Königgrätz . Sezemnice consisted of 70 houses in 1667 and had 339 inhabitants. In 1701 a fire destroyed the town hall with the archive, the meat shops , brewery, school and a total of 44 houses. The next fire in the town broke out in 1716, and in the fire of 1732 47 houses on the Großer and Kleiner Markt, including the town hall, the brewery and the meat shops, were destroyed. In 1736, Sezemice gained its own limited jurisdiction. During the Seven Years' War the Prussians invaded and took action against billeted Austrian soldiers. After them, a four-month plague epidemic broke out, in which half of the residents died. In 1800 the town had 989 inhabitants and consisted of 170 houses. When cholera broke out in 1831, the old cemetery at the church proved to be too small and a new cemetery was created above the village. The following year, a devastating four day city fire broke out, killing 200 buildings. Another fire followed in 1836, which destroyed 34 houses. On February 13, 1839, Sezemice was raised to the rank of town.
The last great city fire in 1840 reduced 14 buildings to rubble and ashes. In 1843 the city consisted of 233 houses and had 1722 inhabitants. After the abolition of patrimonial Sezemice formed with the districts Počaply and Počapelské Chalupy from 1850 a municipality in the Pardubice district. In 1900 the city had 2,460 inhabitants. In addition to numerous craft businesses, there was a brewery, a starch factory and a shoe factory. At the beginning of the 20th century Počaply became independent.
Between 1950 and 1960 the town belonged to the Okres Pardubice-okolí and since 1961 again to the Okres Pardubice. The Počaply district has belonged to Sezemice since 1961. 1976 Dražkov, Lukovna, Kladina, Velké Koloděje (with Malé Koloděje) and Veská were incorporated.
