Dobřejovice is a municipality and village inPrague-East District in theCentral Bohemian Region of theCzech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Dobřej, meaning "the village of Dobřej's people". From the second half of the 18th century until the first half of the 19th century, the village was called Manderscheid after the then-owner of the village, Count of Manderscheid. However, the people did not use the new name, so the old name was restored.[2]
Dobřejovice is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) southeast ofPrague. It lies in thePrague Plateau. The highest point is at 369 m (1,211 ft) above sea level. The brook Dobřejovický potok flows through the municipality and supplies two fishponds there.
The first written mention of Dobřejovice is from 1309. The owners of the village often changed hands and most of them were various less important Czech nobles.[3]
