history
Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area. The oldest finds are to be assigned to the old Paleolithic rubble equipment industry; in Tiché údolí there was a settlement site of the Early Bronze Age Aunjetitz culture and on the Kozí hřbety a settlement site of the Knovíz culture . A Celtic burial site was also found in Suchdol.
In the middle of the 10th century, the Přemyslids had a farm built in the source of the Suchdolský creek, which belonged to the property of the Levý Hradec castle . Suchdol was first mentioned in a document in 1045 when the farm was sold to the Prague Benedictine monastery of St. George . At the beginning of the 15th century, just over 100 people lived in the village. In 1421 the Prague Hussites appropriated the monastic goods. After that the owners of the property changed frequently; among them were u. a. the Sluzský from Chlum and Budovec from Budov families. During the siege of Prague the estate was looted by Swedish troops and the village burned down. On the field Na rybářce there was a battle between the imperial horsemen and the Swedes. On August 11, 1679, Johann Kaspar Proy von Geißelberg and Findelstein sold the Suchdol estate to the Emaus Benedictine monastery in Prague . During the plague epidemic of 1680, a plague cemetery was laid out outside the village, on which a bell tower was built in 1704. In 1755 the chapel of St. Wenceslaus. In 1807, the Emaus Stift built a cemetery around the chapel as a burial place for the religious. The Meierhof burned down on June 8, 1822 and was then rebuilt. The Poor Institute was founded in 1832.
In 1843 the estate comprised a usable area of 591 yokes 1085 square fathoms , of which 440 yoke 212 square fathoms belonged to the authorities. The only meierhof in Sukdol was managed by the authorities themselves. The village of Sukdol / Suchdol of the same name was exclusively subject to the estate. This was east of Welwarner Strasse and consisted of 45 houses with 316 Czech-speaking residents, including an Israelite family. In the place there was an official castle, a Dominical Meierhof with sheep farm and a Dominikales brewery. On the other side there was a retreat ( Na Chumberku ) on Welwarner Strasse, three mills in the valley of the Aunjetitz stream - the two-course Upper Mill ( Trojánův mlýn ), the two-course Middle Mill ( Tůmův mlýn ) and the catchy New or Burnt Mill ( Spálený mlýn ) - as well as the chapel of St. Wenceslaus. In addition to the innkeeper and the three millers, there were also five masons, two butchers, two Jewish shopkeepers and peddlers, a blacksmith and a carpenter. The parish was Aunětitz . Until the middle of the 19th century Sukdol was a land-use property.
After the abolition of patrimonial Suchdol formed from 1850 a municipality in the district and judicial district of Smíchov . The F. Herget brickworks became the first industrial enterprise in Suchdol at the end of the 19th century. Under the tenant and patron Alexander Brandeis , Suchdol became a meeting place for artists. A village school was set up at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time the village was known as Sukdol , since 1924 it has been officially called Suchdol. In 1927 the municipality was assigned to the Praha-venkov district and the judicial district of Praha-západ. From 1929 Suchdol belonged to the judicial district of Praha-sever. In 1942 Suchdol became part of the newly formed Praha-venkov-sever district. After the end of the Second World War, Suchdol became part of the judicial district of Praha-západ. Since 1949 the municipality has belonged to Okres Praha-západ. The Czech Agrarian University in Prague was founded in 1952 with its headquarters in Suchdol, the campus was established in 1966. On January 1, 1968, Suchdol was incorporated into Prague and part of the Prague 6 district. After that, building on the hill south of the village began and the place developed into a satellite settlement from Prague. On October 30, 1975, a 120-person Yugoslav DC-9 from Tivat crashed into the allotment garden colony between Suchdol and Sedlec while approaching Prague Airport . 71 passengers and four crew members died. Five garden houses burned down, another ten were destroyed by the aircraft debris. In 1990, as part of the restructuring of the administrative districts in Prague , the districts Suchdol and Sedlec became the district of Praha-Suchdol . In 1991, Suchdol had 4328 inhabitants. In the 2001 census, 4533 people lived in the 1156 houses in the district. In the 2000s, the satellite settlement Suchdol was further expanded. The country's first barrier-free primary school was opened in Suchdol. At the beginning of the 21st century, extensive residential areas were built on the plateau south and east of the old village. In 2001 a new town center was built on Suchdolské náměstí with the Hotel Wienna as the dominant feature of the town. To the southwest of it, a second central square was built on the Kamýcká with the Brandejsovo náměstí, to which the university campus adjoins to the south.
