history

Ždánice was probably founded in the 11th or 12th century. There was a small festival in the village , which was the seat of the Vladiks from Ždánice. In 1339 Vaněk von Ždánice sold the estate to the Opatowitz Benedictine monastery for 65 shock groschen . The church of St. Wenceslas was mentioned in 1358 as a parish church. After the monastery was plundered and burned down by a Hussite army under Diviš Bořek von Miletínek in 1421 , the latter took possession of the extensive possessions. In 1436 King Sigismund transferred large parts of the former monastery property to Diviš Bořek, who formed the Pardubice dominion with its seat on the Kunburg . In 1437 Diviš 'son Soběslav Mrzák of Miletínek inherited the rule. After that, the estate was separated from the Pardubice lordship, and various lower nobles took over as owners. At the beginning of the 16th century, Wilhelm von Pernstein acquired the Ždánice estate and added it to the Pardubice rule. During this time the landscape around Ždánice changed; The large fish ponds Čeperka and Oplatil were built to the south and east of the village, and the Opatowitz Canal was created to supply water to the Pardubice pond system . In 1521 Wilhelm von Pernstein bequeathed his Bohemian goods to his younger son Vojtěch , after his death in 1534 they fell to his brother Johann . 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 . In the course of raabization in 1777, the settlement of New Zdanitz ( Nové Ždánice ) was laid out on emphyteutized meierhof floors on the Opatowitz Canal .

In 1835 the village of Zdanitz , located in the Chrudim district on the road leading from Přelautsch to Königgrätz , consisted of 61 houses in which 565 people, including two Jewish and one Protestant family, lived. Was divided Zdanitz in Alt-Zdanitz and New Zdanitz , both of its own judges had, but were konskribiert together. In Alt-Zdanitz there was the branch church of St. Wenceslas, where worship was held every other Sunday, as well as a school and a large pub. At Neu-Zdanitz there was a mill on the Opatowitz Canal. The Zdanitzer Hof lay apart . The parish was Wositz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Zdanitz remained subordinate to the kk cameraman Pardubitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Ždanice formed from 1849 with the districts Staré Ždanice and Nové Ždanice a municipality in the judicial district of Pardubice . Emperor Franz Joseph I pledged the kk camera rule Pardubitz in 1855 as a government bond to the Oesterreichische Nationalbank , which sold the rule on June 25, 1863 to the kk privileged Österreichische Credit-Anstalt für Handel und Gewerbe. In 1866 the industrialist Heinrich Drasche bought the manor of Pardubitz. In 1860 the Prokeš family of millers acquired the burnt down mill and built the largest mill on the Opatowitz Canal on the site of the fire. From 1868 the community belonged to the Pardubitz district . In 1869 Ždanice had 804 inhabitants and consisted of 88 houses. In the 1870s the municipality was renamed Staré Ždanice . On June 18, 1881 Richard von Drasche-Wartinberg bought the manors of Pardubitz and Kunětická Hora for 2,080,000 guilders from his father's inheritance. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1882. In 1890 there were 947 people in the community. At that time the parish name was changed to Staré Ždánice . Nové Ždánice has not been run as a district since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1900 there were 846 people in the community, in 1910 there were 805. On February 15, 1915, Emperor Franz Joseph I gave the community a coat of arms. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, in the course of the land reform of 1920, the large Zdanitz estate of the Drasche-Wartinberg family was confiscated and divided up. In 1930 Staré Ždánice had 737 inhabitants. At that time the school was taught in five classes. In 1949 Staré Ždánice was assigned to the Okres Pardubice-okolí, since 1960 the community has belonged again to the Okres Pardubice . In 1974 the dilapidated mill was shut down and demolished five years later; then the area was concreted and used as a beet storage area. Between 1976 and 1990 Plch and Podůlšany were incorporated.

Early Gothic Church of St. Wenceslaus. It was built in 1339 instead of a previous wooden building; It received its present form after renovations in the 16th, 17th, 19th and 20th centuries.

The four bells date from 1409, 1509, 1582 and 1778. The neo-Gothic interior is from the 19th century.
