history

Modern megalithic complex Kruh near Nemějice

Archaeological finds show that the area has been inhabited since the Bronze Age . The most important site is the Tábor hill, on which there was probably a Celtic sanctuary. The thousands of pierced votive objects and remains of stakes found there within a radius of 20 m² suggest that they were hung on sacred trees around a shrine. Barrows from the Hallstatt period were found on the Na Kopci hill .

The first written mention of the village took place in 1379 in a list of all archbishopric lordships commissioned by Archbishop Johann Očko von Wlašim . The register drawn up by the archbishop notary Jindřich Hezlín von Humpolec for the purpose of levying a special tax in support of King Wenceslas IV shows Olešná as one of 33 villages in the Thein domain . On August 20th, 1415 Archbishop Konrad von Vechta had to pledge the rule to Jan von Sobětice as a result of mismanagement. In 1416 the pledge was completely transferred to him.

During the pilgrimages to the mountain ( poutě na hory ) undertaken at the time of the Hussite movement after the restriction of the Hussite church services between Easter 1419 and 1420, sermons were made in the open air on the Tábor. The great meeting with stations on different mountains ended on July 22nd, 1419 on the Tábor with a sermon in front of 42,000 supporters.

After the Battle of White Mountain , the rulership was confiscated and returned as a whole to the Archdiocese of Prague by King Ferdinand II .

In 1840 Slabschitz consisted of 40 houses with 319 inhabitants. Three remote Dominical houses belonged to the village. The parish was Chrashtian . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village always remained subject to the archbishopric Moldau-Thein.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Slabčice / Slabschitz 1850 a district of the municipality Smoleč in the district administration and the judicial district Písek. In 1920 Slabčice became independent. In 1949 Slabčice was assigned to the Okres Milevsko; after its abolition, it came back to Okres Písek at the end of 1960 , at the same time Nemějice and Písecká Smoleč were incorporated with Březí. The Slavík and Boudy strata to the west of the Vltava Valley were flooded with the Orlík Dam reservoir in the 1960s .
