History & geography

History

Chotěbuz is one of the oldest villages in Cieszyn Silesia. There was a Slavic fortified settlement – gord. It was an important centre since the 8th century. At the beginning of the 11th century, people abandoned the gord and founded a new castle and town on a promontory above the Olza, known as Cieszyn. Near the old place a new settlement was established, called Podobora. Chotěbuz was first mentioned in the document of Pope Gregory IX issued in 1229 among villages belonging to Benedictine abbey in Tyniec, as Koczobontz. In 1268 it was bestowed by Władysław Opolski to the newly established Benedictine abbey in Orlová Politically it belonged then to the Duchy of Opole and Racibórz and Castellany of Cieszyn, which was in 1290 formed in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy. From 1447, Chotěbuz was a part of the Fryštát estate. In 1559, Chotěbuz was acquired by Václav Rucký of Rudz, who had built here a small fortress. After World War I, Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part of Czechoslovakia. Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938 together with the Trans-Olza region it was annexed by Poland, administratively adjoined to Cieszyn County of Silesian Voivodeship. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war, it was restored to Czechoslovakia. Until 1974, Chotěbuz was an independent municipality. From 1974 to 1997, it was a municipal part of Český Těšín. Since 1998, it has been separate again.
