KNOWLEDGE OF Jindrichuv Hradec

Jindřichův Hradec (-Czech, German: Neuhaus) is a city in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has approximately 22,800 inhabitants.

In the tenth century, JindÅ™ichův Hradec was already the administrative center of the southern PÅ™emyslid state, located by the river Nežárka and Hamerský Bach. Vitek z PrÄ?ice obtained Southern Bohemia in 1185, which he colonized and later partitioned to his son. This founded the southern Bohemian noble families von LandÅ¡tejn, von Stráž and Rosenberg, as well as the Lord of Hradec.

1220-1237 Jindřich Vitkovec conferred the patronage rights of the parish church to German knights and ordered them to build a hospital by the church.

1255 Vitek of Hradec, son of Jindřich, confirmed patronates and consigned to them greater property and freedom. In this list, the name of the known judge of the castle Jindřich, named Kameník, presumably the first administrative official of the township, can be found.

1277 Přemysl Ottokar II occupied the castle, and would reside there for some time.

1294 Oldřich II of Hradec appointed eight Jewish families with the permission of the king and had their way through Hradec confirmed.

1297 The first citizens of Hradec were mentioned

1312-1349 During the reign of Oldřich III of Hradec, the city center took on its present form.

1335-1342 The papal inquisitor, dominican monk Havel of Hradec, orders the citizens of Hradec, who are against the Catholic church, to report themselves.

1340-1341 Pope Benedict II orders the first crusade against heretics in Hradec. The castles of some of the surrounding villages were damaged in 1341.

1349-1389 After the death of Oldřich III his possessions were partitioned to his sons. The stream of tradesmen and wealthy craftsmen grew.

1389 The city received the first written privileges from Jindřich III of Hradec, according to which all citizens had freedom of decision and movement. They were allowed to deal independently in property and goods. The regional taxes were also written down.

1399 Heřman and Jan der Jungere of Hradec founded the city hospital with the chapel of Alžběta.

1410 The current name of the city, Jindřichův Hradec, was mentioned.

1415-1434 The Hussite Wars hardly encounter the city. It merely came to social disputes and power struggles (within the city). Only Oldřich Vavák, the appointed administrator, was sympathetic to the Hussites. His successor, Menhart of Hradec, was a devotee of the Hussites, who later had a change of opinion and joined those against the Hussites at the Battle of Lipany in 1434.

1434-1448 Menhart climbed high in politics. Next to Prague, the city was the most important place for meetings between opposing parties.

1453-1463 The Oldřichs died out. Zdenek von Sternberg, leader of the opposers of Jiří of Poděbrady, takes over the lordship of the city.

1457 The Franziskaners (so-called Bosáks) locate themselves in the suburbs.

1463 Jindřich IV, devotees to the orthodox Catholic teaching, opposers of Jiří of Poděbrady, devotees of Matyáš of Korvín until 1479, and later of Vladislav II layed siege to the king's troops in the city, but were forced to pull back in 1467 without success.

1511 Adam I took over lordship of the city. In 1523 he was appointed supreme chancellor. He was one of the eight richest people in the kingdom.

1531-1546 After the sudden death of Adam I Volf st. KrajíÄ? z Krajku na LandÅ¡tejnÄ› administered the region until the sons of Adam I could claim their inheritance.

1550 The inheritance was partitioned. Jachýmov inherited the manor of JindÅ™ichův Hradec and Zachariáš the Moravian manor of TelÄ?. The city bloomed during the reign of Jachým.

1562-1564 The lands of Hluboká and other manors were annexed.

1568 Adam II took over the inheritance, and the separation from high politics began. Debt rose and the financial situation of the city became precarious. At the urging of his devoutly Catholic wife Kateřina of Montfort the Jesuit school with the Chapel of Saint Mary Magdeline was built. The Jesuits received patronage rights over all churches and the oversight of all schools. Lessons began in 1595. It is now the oldest Jesuit school in Bohemia.

1604 With the death of Jachym Oldrich's only son, his branch of the Lords of Hradec died out. Jachymov's Daughter, Lucie Otilie of Hradec took over the family inheritance. She had been married to Slavata von Chlum and Koschumberg since 1602.

1618-1620 During the Bohemian Uprising, the city hindered three attacks of the emperor's army, led by generals from Dampiera and Buquoye. The city did not surrender until after the Battle of White Mountain. After the Habsburg's victory, Vilem Slavata and the Jesuits turned back. 24 Death sentences were ordered during trials against the citizens. These were later lifted after the convicted converted to Catholicism. Vilem Slavata became the chancellor of the Empire.

1622-1625 All privileges were taken from the city, and it's ability of self-administration was reduced.

1625 The parish won far-reaching privileges from Pope Urban VIII, that had first been put through by the Jesuits.

1637 The Jesuits cared for the remains of Saint Hippolyt, who was made the patron saint of the city. The Franziskaners followed with the remains of Saint Theodore in 1682

1654 Jindřichův Hradec is the second largest city in Bohemia with 405 Houses.

1693 The Slavata line died out. Marie Josefa Slavatova, who was married to Heřman Jakub Černín, took over the inheritence. They mostly lived in their palaces in Prague and Vienna, and built the rococo palace of Jemrin.
