Etymology

History
editThe first written mention of Vinaře is from 1192, when half of the village was donated to the Teutonic Order. In 1242, the order acquired the second half of the village. In 1420, Vinaře was annexed to the Lichnice estate and acquired by the Trčka of Lípa family. From the end of the 16th century until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1850, Vinaře belonged to the Žleby estate.[3]
The village of Vinice was founded around 1784 by Count Adam Auersperg. It was established on the site of the former village of Drbohlavy, which disappeared centuries ago.[3]
