history
The place arose around the festival “On the Plate” ( Na Talíři ). Veselí was first mentioned in a document in 1259 as the property of the Wok von Rosenberg . In 1261 he donated the church of Veselí to the Hohenfurth monastery, which he founded . In 1302 the village came into the ownership of the Bohemian King Wenceslaus II. In 1362, Charles IV was appointed chamber town . During the Hussite Wars , there were frequent looting and pillage.
Under the reign of Peter Wok von Rosenberg , the village recovered from the devastation of the war and flourished again economically when Peter Wok created new ponds. After his death in 1611 Veselí came to the Lords of Schwanberg .
During the uprising, the city gained in importance because of its strategically important location close to Austria, which led to renewed attacks and looting. After the battle of the White Mountain and the defeat of the Bohemian estates, the city was pardoned by the emperor, markets were introduced and the city was granted brewing rights. Nevertheless, the population left the increasingly neglected city. The Thirty Years' War contributed the rest : poverty and hunger.
On April 2, 1660, Johann Adolf von Schwarzenberg received the entire estate of Wittingau . The family held the city until 1918. On August 21, 1732, Emperor Charles VI visited. the parish. A great fire broke out in 1764 and 1866. The first offices were established in 1852, and a school was built in 1881. The market town of Mezimostí received city rights in 1908. In 1943 the towns of Veselí nad Lužnicí and Mezimostí nad Nežárkou were merged to form the town of Frohenbruck / Veselí nad Lužnicí . After the end of the Second World War, the united city only bore the name Veselí nad Lužnicí. Efforts by Mezímostí to separate again were unsuccessful.
The central central belt asteroid (2599) Veselí was named after the city.
