history

The first written mention of Stěžery was in 1229 in a document from King Ottokar I Přemysl about the sale of the village to the Opatowitz monastery . In 1355 the church and a pastor were mentioned for the first time. After the monastery was plundered and burned down by the Hussites under Diviš Bořek von Miletínek and Aleš von Riesenburg in 1421 , Diviš Bořek and the town of Hradec Králové seized the extensive possessions. According to an agreement concluded between the two, the northern part of the monastery property including Stěžery fell to the city, while Diviš Bořek formed the Kunburg domain from the remaining part ; only about Plačice both sides argued for two years. The city installed a Hussite pastor in Stěžery and granted the village extensive self-government with the establishment of its own Rychtář . The wealthy citizen Jan Karásek ze Lvovi built a tavern where his beer was sold.

In the middle of the 15th century Georg von Podiebrad acquired the village. On April 5, 1465 he overwritten the rule of Pardubitz including the former monastery villages Vysoká , Březhrad , Stěžery, Roudnička and the Krivec forest to his sons Viktorin , Heinrich and Hynek von Munsterberg. A little later Stěžery came back to the city of Hradec Králové. In 1510, the city concluded a contract with the owner of the lordships of Pardubitz and Kunburg, Wilhelm von Pernstein , to renounce the mutual extradition of subjects who had emigrated; Jan from Velín, who had moved to Stěžery, was also listed there. In a dispute with Viktorin Kornel ze Všehrd, he threatened in 1520 because of an open claim with the seizure of the two most important villages in the city - Stěžery and Lochenice , but this could be averted through payment. Because of the participation of the city in the Bohemian uprising of the estates, Emperor Ferdinand I confiscated all Königgrätzer city goods in 1547 and sold most of the drawn-in villages to Johann von Pernstein . His three sons sold most of it at a profit; new owner of Stěžery was 1551 Šťastný Felix Pravětický of Pravětice. In 1576 Felix Pravětický began to manage the so-called Upper Manor, a stone fortress that was located between the old wooden fortress and Villa Šulc. His descendants had a single-storey renaissance castle built instead of the wooden fortress. After the Battle of White Mountain , the Stěžery estate belonging to Jan Pravětický von Pravětice was confiscated and sold to Anna Susanna von Slawata for 10,000 guilders in 1625 . In 1632 the Harrach Counts acquired part of the estate, and from 1650 they owned all of Stěžery. Ferdinand Bonaventura von Harrach (1637–1706) bought the Radostow estate in 1663 for 8,000 guilders from Johann Heinrich Kapřik Lesonický von Lesonitz and the Boharna and Homile estates in 1704 from Barbara von Memmingen for 46,300 guilders . The following owners were Friedrich August Gervas von Harrach until 1749 and then his son Ernst Guido von Harrach. The latter bought the Radikowitz estate from the widow Chanowsky von Langendorf for 28,000 guilders in 1753 . During the Austrian War of Succession , the Stěžery estate was plundered by Prussian troops on July 2, 1745. During the peasant uprising, the castle was severely damaged by the rebels on March 24, 1775. Ernst Guido von Harrach bequeathed Stěžery in 1783 to his son Johann Nepomuk Ernst von Harrach, who ceded the estate to his brother Ernst Christoph (1757–1838). Ernst Christoph von Harrach had the castle redesigned into his summer residence in 1802–1803.

The Fideikommissgut Stößer comprised a usable area of ​​3933 yoke 1490 square fathoms in 1833, including 714 yoke 1130 square fathoms of forest. Of the five Meierhöfe, the authorities ran those in Stößer, Radikowitz and Boharna on their own; the other two farms in Radostow and Homile were temporarily leased. A total of 2404 Czech-speaking Catholics lived in the area in the villages of Stößer, Hřibsko, Tiechlowitz , Radikowitz, Radostow, Homile and Boharna, as well as a part of Platschitz (1 house). The main source of income was agriculture, and some flax spinning and linen weaving were operated.

In 1835 the village of Stößer or Stezer or Stiežery in the Königgrätzer Kreis consisted of 79 houses in which 669 people lived. The branch church of St. Mark and the school, which belonged to the parish of St. Anna in the Königgrätzer suburb of Kuklena, were under the patronage of the authorities. There was also a stately castle, an office building, a Meierhof, a brewery, an inn and a mill in the village. Franz de Paula Ernst von Harrach, who inherited the Stößer and Sadowa estates in 1838 , had a new summer residence built in the Tudor style between 1839 and 1857 with the Červený hrádek . Up until the middle of the 19th century, Stößer was the official place of the Fideikommissgut of the same name.

After the abolition of patrimonial Stěžery formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Königgrätz . From 1868 the community belonged to the Königgrätz district . In 1887 the Counts of Harrach built the first household school in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the castle; the accounting of the property was moved to the office building. In 1928 Otto Harrach offered the community the castle for 350,000 kroner , which they rejected as overpriced. The gendarmerie station was housed in the castle until 1939. In 1940 the Königgrätzer wholesalers Alois, Jaroslav and Josef Jirsák bought the castle for 200,000 crowns.

1949 Stěžery was assigned to the Okres Hradec Králové-okolí; this was repealed in the course of the territorial reform of 1960, since then the municipality has belonged to Okres Hradec Králové. On January 1, 1976, the incorporation of Hřibsko and Stěžírky (with Charbuzice) took place.

Community structure

The community Stěžery consists of the districts Charbuzice ( Charbusitz , 1939–45 Karbusitz ), Hřibsko ( Ribsko , 1939–45 Füllenhof ), Stěžery ( Stößer ) and Stěžírky ( Stezirek ; 1939–45 Lanzendorf ).

The municipality is divided into the cadastral districts of Hřibsko, Stěžery and Stěžírky.

Attractions

  • Church of St. Markus, the old church built in 1350 was demolished in 1830. In its place, today's building in Empire style was built in 1832.
  • Stěžery Castle, one-storey Renaissance building with sgraffito decoration and shingle roof built at the end of the 16th century for the Pravětický von Pravětice lords . Ernst Christoph von Harrach had it converted into his summer residence from 1802–1803. In 1940 the Jirsák family bought the castle and after the Second World War it was nationalized. The coat of arms of Pravětický von Pravětice from 1618 was moved to the north wall during the renovation in 1956. After the Jirsák family asserted restitution claims after the Velvet Revolution , the legality of the cheap and simple purchase was challenged. In 1999 the community had the outer skin renewed. After lengthy legal proceedings, the municipality became the owner of the castle in 2003. After the masonry was drained, social housing was set up.
  • Brick manufacturer Šulc's villa ( Šulcova vila )
  • Statues of St. John of Nepomuk, St. Wenceslas, St. Trinity, Virgin Mary and Jan Hus
