history

Strašice was first mentioned in writing in 1365. The village, which was probably created in the final phase of the country's colonization, consisted of about ten to twelve farms and was therefore the average size of medieval villages. Further expansions through land allocations did not take place. On August 22, 1368 Nikolaus von Kanicz sold half of the Strašice farm to the prior Hermann and the sub-prior of the same name from the convent of the knightly order of Malta in Strakonice . On September 9, 1413, Sulek von Zálezly, Zikmund von Frymburk auf Krejnice and Armal and Dašek von Strakonice signed a contract with the Strakonitzer Grand Prior Heinrich von Neuhaus for the sale of the income from the mills near Strašice. In the first half of the 16th century a share of Strašice belonged to a Písek citizen, whose ownership rights over two farmers were renewed on May 6, 1542 in the land table . In 1546 he was able to acquire further property and rights in Strašice, Škudra, Vojnice, Kanice and Kladruby . Because of the participation of the royal city of Písek in the uprising against Emperor Ferdinand I , their goods were confiscated. In 1549 the court chamber sold the confiscated Písek estates near Strakonice to Adam Kotz from Dobrz on Ohrazenice. In the berní rula of 1652, eight peasant farms are listed for Strašice, two of which were desolate; south of the village Vondřej Prachař owned a chaluppe and a one-wheel mill on the Kolčava. In 1840 Straschitz / Stražice consisted of 53 houses with 314 inhabitants. Of these, 30 houses belonged to the Strakonitz estate, 13 to the Niemtschitz estate , nine to the Wohraženitz estate ( Ohrazenice ) and one to the Wognitz estate ( Vojnice ). There was a school in the village and a mill ( Prachař ) to the side. The parish was Wolenitz . Until the middle of the 19th century the village was always divided between four lords. The inhabitants lived from agriculture, which, however, was not very productive because of the stony fields.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Strašice / Straschitz 1850 a town Skudra in the district administration and the judicial district Strakonice . In 1864 the construction of a new school building began, in which lessons began the following year. On April 1, 1976, Škůdra was incorporated with Zvotoky. After a referendum, Zvotoky broke away from Strašice on November 24, 1990 and formed its own municipality. The former village school is the seat of the municipal office and the library. The mills on the Kolčava, which were shut down in the 20th century, are now used for recreational purposes. A holiday camp with a swimming pool was built in the Kolčava Valley between the Rejškův mlýn and Prachař mills. Of the 77 houses in the Strašice district, only 35 are permanently inhabited.

coat of arms

The community has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2009. Both are divided diagonally into a blue and a gold field. The blue field shows a golden branch symbolizing the district of Škůdra, which was first mentioned as Scodra on October 18, 1045 in a deed of donation from Duke Břetislav I to the Breunau Abbey . The three black mill wheels on a golden background stand for Strašice and symbolize the Rejškův mlýn, Prachař and Smitka mills that used to be operated on Strašice Flur by the Kolčava.
