Reconstruction of the fishpond system of Dymokury region
Kupka, Jiří
The article presents the results of the research on the historical cultural landscape in the administrative district of the Poděbrady Region carried out within the NAKI II project Practical Approaches to the Territorial Protection of Historical Cultural Landscapes. The research included the definition of units and units of historical cultural landscape and then a detailed analysis of the partially relict landscape of the former fishpond system of Dymokury Region. A partial output of the project was a map reconstruction of the fishponds and dykes to the state of 1713, from which the description of the ponds on the estate survived, presented in the form of an interactive map. The text presents the sources used, among which the archival maps stand out, especially the first military mapping, confronted with cadastral maps, aerial photographs and a digital relief model. On the basis of the analysis, 91 fishpond sites were identified in the study area, which were entered into the map and described and documented in detail. Thirty of them have been preserved to date, the rest of the water bodies have disappeared. Several larger ponds have survived on the Štítarský Brook, on the Smíchovský Brook and on the Záhornický Brook. Some of the fishponds have remained wet meadows, others have disappeared completely, but they are visible in the terrain, including the dykes that are still prominent today. The results of the analyses show that even a seemingly ordinary and uninteresting agricultural field landscape has a number of historical landscape structures, moreover with historically proven potential for water retention in the landscape.
