Though small in area, Hirzův Újezd [1] was valuable, mostly because of its strategically
important location on the Linec trail. From today’s point of view, its value lies in its compactness and
in the fact that it was probably founded by a single locator – Hirzo, which is in this size rare in our
country.
This paper consists of identifying the aggregate of Hirzův Újezd and its development from
its probable founding up to the present. The village identification method is based on the study of
accessible historical records, which were partly uncovered by Jiří Kuthan. The method used for the
determination of the presumed original founding concept is predominantly grounded in the research
of Z. Pešková and J. Škabrada and is accepted among proffessionals.
The survey of the area identified all thirteen settlements, twelve of them were still wellpreserved
shortly after the end of the World War II. Unfortunately, only three of the settlements were
preserved to the present day in a good condition and another three only as fragments.
This information will be used as a base for further study of the settlement-founding systems in the
examined area (dissertation on the topic of Identification of surveying methods of locator Hirzo). By
better understanding of the founding process of a settlement, we can obtain materials for protection
of valuable and in many places still visible original structure, for example by projecting it into Spacial
planning.

Hirzův Újezd – Hirza's Domain
Hirzův Újezd (the literature also sometimes calls it "Mokerský Újezd" for the most important village of
the group – Mokrá) is named after the burgrave Hirzo who owned this domain before 1263, the first mention
of his ownership comes from the doundation document of the Zlatá Koruna monastery (In: RBM II., No. 409,
p. 158).

For the purpose of survey system identification, the oldest usable source are no doubt Indikační
skici and the maps of Stabilní katastr that came from them. As was already proven (for example
ŠKABRADA, Jiří, - PEŠKOVÁ, Zuzana. K možnostem identifikace středověkého vyměřování vesnic v
českých zemích (About the Possibilities of Identification of the Medieval Village Survey in Bohemia). Dějiny
věd a techniky XXXIX, 3. Prague 2006, p. 163-177.), these materials can be still used as a starting point
despite the relatively long period of time between the foundation of the settlements and the creation of the
maps.
