A monument to Jan Hus, erected in 1920, stands in Třebusice’s village square. It was ceremonially unveiled on 4 July 1920. The monument is adorned with a chalice and the inscription “NEZAHYNE NÁROD ČESKÝ POKUD ZÁŘIVÝM VZOREM MU BUDE VELKÝ MUČEDNÍK KOSTNICKÝ”. This clearly dated landmark establishes a different timescale from the archaeological traces of the area: here, the focus is on a specific memorial, while the Roman cremation burial ground and other burial sites reveal earlier periods. Anyone exploring Třebusice through its history will encounter both a precisely dated memorial and archaeological contexts spanning very different periods.
A cremation burial ground with a long chronology
The Roman cremation burial ground in Třebusice is the largest necropolis of the Elbe Germanic people (Suebi) discovered in the Czech Republic. Archaeological excavations uncovered 960 graves. Together, they form a unique, chronologically organised cross-section of the material culture of the Germanic population of Bohemia. The period spans from the initial phase of settlement in the second half of the 1st century BC to the first half of the 3rd century AD. Its historical significance therefore lies not only in the number of graves: the chronology makes the development of material culture over a long period the central theme of this archaeological find complex.
At the Na Čihadle sand pit, on the left-hand side of the Brandýsek–Třebusice road, there is a prehistoric and early medieval burial site associated with several cultures. This timeframe differs from that of the Roman cremation burial ground: Třebusice is therefore home to archaeological contexts from different periods. Jasan v Třebusicích was first designated on 15 January 1985.
The two burial sites are not merely two references to the same era. The cremation burial ground represents a long, explicitly structured chronology of the Germanic population of Bohemia; Na Čihadle is associated with a multi-cultural burial site dating from prehistoric and early medieval times. This distinction helps place Třebusice’s archaeological themes in context, both separately and within the broader historical spectrum of the area.
Sport and culture in the town
The multi-purpose sports field in Třebusice offers facilities for football, tennis, nohejbal, volleyball and, to a limited extent, basketball. The basketball restriction is relevant when planning this sport. Booking and access rules may change, so check them before making specific plans. Another dated cultural landmark is the Obecní kino Třebusice community cinema: the municipality began operating it in 2023.
