Hlavenec is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.

Etymology

The name is a diminutive form of the personal name Hlaven.[2]

Geography

Hlavenec is located about 19 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape in the Polabí lowlands, on the border between the Jizera Table and Central Elbe Table. The highest point is the hill Kobylí hlava at 215 m (705 ft) above sea level.

History

The first written mention of Hlavenec is from 1386. It was probably founded together with Kostelní Hlavno and Sudovo Hlavno. The village was owned by the Lords of Michalovice and later was annexed to the Brandýs estate. In 1547, the estate was acquired by the Habsburg family and Hlavenec became known for the imperial game park.[3]
