history
Osek was first mentioned in writing in 1228, when the village, along with Libice nad Cidlinou, Kanín, Opolany , Odřepsy and Oldříš, belonged to the Benedictine monastery of St. George at Prague Castle . The village emerged on the edge of a swamp area formed by several branches of the Elbe. In 1366 the abbess Elisabeth sold the desert farm Libice including jurisdiction over the villages Libice, Opolany, Oldříš and Osík , which however remained monastic property, to Ješek von Všechlapy. Emperor Sigismund withdrew the Libice Sprengel from the monastery in 1437 in exchange for Potštýn and left it as part of a total of 14 villages near Poděbrady to Georg von Poděbrad as thanks for his services. After George of Podebrady, who had meanwhile been elected king, had acquired the rule of Kolín from Bedřich von Strážnice in 1458, he joined Osík to this. The other owners included Matthias Corvinus , the noble families Pernstein , Zierotin and Kinsky as well as the Prince Archdiocese of Salzburg . Between the 17th and 19th centuries the course of the river was straightened, whereby the old arms of the Elbe located west of Velký Osek in the Kameral forest were thrown off. In 1788 a contribution store was built in Wossek for the surrounding villages. In 1827 Wossek was sold as part of the Kolín rule to the textile manufacturer Jacob Veith from Wallern , who made it very rich through the production of piqué . Veith, who was raised to the hereditary baron status, died in 1833. His son Wenzel Baron Veith († 1852) took over the inheritance, which included a total of three lords.
In 1843 the rustic village of Groß-Wosek or Welký Wosek in the Kauřim district consisted of 44 houses in which 260 people, including 15 Protestant and one Jewish family, lived. There was a school and an inn in the village. Aside - on the embankment of the former Bačow pond - stood the Bačow ruling house. Catholic parish was world-famous ; the place of office was Kaisersdorf . Until the middle of the 19th century, Groß-Wosek remained subject to the Kolín rule.
After the abolition of patrimonial Vosek / Wossek formed a community in the judicial district of Kolin from 1849 . Veiths heirs sold the goods to Franz Horsky in 1862 . In 1863 Horsky had the Bačov pond drained and the Bačovka river regulated. From 1868 the village belonged to the Kolin District . In 1869 the Austrian Northwest Railway began building the railways from Kolín to Jungbunzlau and from Wossek to Pelsdorf . The station was built from 1870 according to plans by the Teibach brothers from Kutná Hora . After the first work trains had traveled the lines from the end of 1870, regular freight and passenger traffic began on May 1, 1871. In 1871 the no longer used Wosseker warehouse was converted into a residential building at the train station. In the years 1870–1871 Horsky von Horskyfeld had a four-kilometer branch line from Wossek station to his court Karolín near Freudenek , on which the wagons were pulled by horse power. Until the introduction of today's name Velký Osek in 1920, the names Osek and Velký Vosek / Groß Wossek were used. The branch line to Karolín was shut down in 1925. In 1952 the river regulation work on the Elbe was completed. Since 1997 the community has had a coat of arms and a banner.
