history

Zdice was probably the area in 1039 as part of the settlement west of Prague under Břetislav I created. The first documentary evidence dates back to 1148 when Děpold took the rebel Soběslav II prisoner on a farm near Zdice . Zdice belonged to the diocese of Prague since the 13th century and was a customs post. At that time the church was probably built on.

Wenceslaus II wrested Zdice from the spiritual property and in 1302 incorporated the place into the estates of the royal city of Beroun . After the construction of the Karlštejn castle , Charles IV assigned Zdice to the Karlštejn rule in 1357. Later Zdice became the property of the Bohemian court chamber . On October 16, 1424, negotiators of the Bohemian Catholics from Žebrák and the Utraquists from Beroun met in today's town hall to negotiate an armistice, as a result of which the ceasefire was extended until another negotiation in Kouřim .

Emperor Sigismund finally assigned Zdice to the Točník rule . During this time, Zdice was elevated to market status and in 1607 Zdice became part of the Králův Dvůr Chamber of Commerce , to which it belonged until the patrimonial rule was abolished in 1848.

In 1806 the Theresia mine started operations, this iron ore mine was followed by others. In 1850 the Skally & Macháčka sugar factory was founded. In the second half of the 19th century, after the start of traffic on the Bohemian Western Railway in 1862, industrial companies settled. After the inauguration of the first section of the Rakonitz – Protivín Railway , Zdice became the most important railway junction in Western Bohemia. On May 6, 1872, Zdice was elevated to a market town.

On November 17, 1939, the Wehrmacht courier Josef Altmeyer was assassinated in Zditz. Martial law was imposed on the area and, during the investigation, all 800 male residents between the ages of 16 and 60 were interned for three days, and every tenth person threatened with shooting. After Josef Pilát from Hředle found the culprit, the action was ended.

In 1965 mining in Zdice was stopped. Zdice has been a town since July 1st, 1994.
