history

The first written mention of Sviny took place on April 1, 1354, when Ulrich IV von Neuhaus sold the village together with Zálší , Mažice , Svinky, Vlastiboř and Borkovice to the Rosenbergs . In 1362 Peter II von Rosenberg donated 20 hubs in Sviny to the Krumlov monastery . In the Rosenberg land register from 1379, 27 hubs are listed for Sviny. In 1556 there were two cretches in Sviny . After the death of Peter Wok von Rosenberg , the rule of Wittingau fell to Peter von Schwanberg in 1612 . His fortune was confiscated after the Battle of the White Mountains because of his participation in the class uprising of 1618. It fell to the Habsburgs who carried out the Counter Reformation . Sviny became extinct during the Thirty Years War and was then repopulated. Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria ceded the rule of Wittingau to the Counts of Schwarzenberg in 1660 . In 1840 Schweinitz / Swiny consisted of 50 houses with 410 inhabitants. There was a school in the village. The parsonage was Wesely. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the Wittingau rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Sviny / Schweinitz 1850 with the hamlet Kundratice a municipality in the district administration Trebon / Wittingau and the judicial district Veseli nad Lužnicí . Kundratice broke up in 1874 and formed its own community. A new school building was built in 1882 and is now the kindergarten. After the Okres Třeboň was abolished, Sviny became part of the Okres Soběslav and Kundratice again in 1948. The Okres Soběslav was dissolved again in 1961 and the community assigned to the Okres Tábor. On July 1, 1980, Sviny and Kundratice were incorporated into Borkovice. After a referendum, both villages broke up on November 24, 1990 and formed their own municipality.
