Cultural history in Třebusice

If you are looking for specific cultural and historical points of reference for your trip, an important landmark is located in the village square of Třebusice: a monument to Jan Hus was erected there in 1920. The Jan Hus monument was ceremonially unveiled on 4 July 1920. It is decorated with a chalice and the inscription “NEZAHYNE NÁROD ČESKÝ POKUD ZÁŘIVÝM VZOREM MU BUDE VELKÝ MUČEDNÍK KOSTNICKÝ”. The village square thus connects a specific place in the village with the memory of Jan Hus. The Czech inscription and the chalice shape the appearance of the monument and give the memorial site its own distinct cultural significance.

Archaeological sites spanning extensive periods of history

The Roman cremation burial ground in Třebusice is particularly extensive. It is the largest necropolis of the Elbe Germanic population (the Suebi) discovered in the Czech Republic. Archaeological investigations of the Roman cremation burial ground in Třebusice uncovered 960 graves. The graves form a unique, chronologically structured cross-section of the material culture of the Germanic population of Bohemia: the period ranges from the initial phase of settlement in the second half of the 1st century BC to the first half of the 3rd century AD. The combination of the necropolis’s size, the number of graves uncovered and their chronological arrangement gives the site a different profile from the individual monument in the village square. For those interested in early history, it therefore provides access to long periods of development rather than just a single historical point in time.

Another historical site is located near the Na Čihadle sandpit. On the left side of the Brandýsek–Třebusice road lies a prehistoric and early medieval burial site representing several cultures. This burial site complements the large cremation burial ground with another archaeological location. The range of historical themes in Třebusice therefore extends from the Germanic necropolis to a site that brings together different burial traditions.

Sports, community life and travel

The multi-purpose sports field in Třebusice offers opportunities for football, tennis, nohejbal, volleyball and, to a limited extent, basketball. On 8 August, a traditional summer gathering with an accordion was held at the sports grounds. This social occasion provides a different focus from the sporting use of the field. Community life also has a cultural dimension: in 2023, the municipality of Třebusice began operating the Obecní kino Třebusice community cinema. The opening of the cinema adds a contemporary community theme to the older monuments and archaeological sites.

For travel by public transport, PID bus route 620 serves the Třebusice and Třebusice,křiž stops. These two stops can be taken into account when using the bus connection to find your way around the village. Jasan v Třebusicích was first designated on 15 January 1985. This date provides a chronological contrast to the archaeological periods associated with the cremation burial ground and the burial site. Thus, memorial sites, archaeological locations, sporting opportunities and community cultural offerings exist side by side in Třebusice’s thematically diverse local landscape.
