U MANIŠA
V katastru obce Ratibor, v cásti zvané
Kobelné byl v roce 2001 zbudován pomník
místního kazatele Jana Maniše. Postaven byl v
místech, kde v 18. století stával jeho
statek.
Jan Maniš se narodil 26. 8. 1746 v Ruždce, bydlel v
Kobelném c. p. 103. Byl to obecní evangelický
kazatel, který postavil se na podporu Tolerancního
patentu. Na obranu svobody vyznání se v roce 1777
vydal do Vídne, ale vrátil se s neporízenou.
Dlouho žil v utajení a v roce 1779 se vydal do
Tešína za císarem Josefem II., který
zde byl na mírovém kongresu. Cestou byl ale dopaden
cetníky a i po zaprení svého
príjmení v nem byl poznán Jan Maniš.
Poté byl odvezen do Brna, byl veznen a
vyslýchán. I ve vezení se otevrene
prihlásil k evangelickému vyznání, byl
odsouzen k 3mesícní práci v okovech a jednou
týdne se musel ukazovat na tržišti pod
pranýrem s cesko-nemeckým nápisem
"Prestupník ustanovení zemských". Po
uplynutí trestu byl spolu s rodinou vyhošten do
Sedmihradska, deti mu byly následne odebrány a
predány na katolické prevychování. Jeho
majetek byl zkonfiskován a dán katolickému
hospodári. Z Uher se však nevrátil, kolem roku
1780 ve vyhnanství umírá. Jedinou
útechou mu v nebi byl rok 1781, kdy byl vydán
Tolerancní patent.
BY MANIŠ
In the part of village Ratibor, named Kobelné, there was
founded memorial of local preacher Jan Maniš in year 2001.
It was built in the place where in 18th century stood his
grange.
Jan Maniš was born on 26th August 1746 in Ruždka and he
lived in Kobelné 103. He was evangelic preacher who stood up
for the tolerance decree. In 1777 he set out for a journey to
Vienna to protect the freedom of Protestant religion, but he came
off badly. For a long time he had to hide him selves and in 1779 he
set out for a journey to Tešín to meet the emperor
Joseph II. who was there on peace negotiations. However, Jan
Maniš was captured on the road by troopers. Although he kept
denying his name, they had recognized him. After that he was
transported to Brno, there he was held and interrogated. In prison
he claimed his religion and he was given a three-month sentence
work in shackle. Once a week he had to show him selves on market
under the pillory with Czech-German lettering “Offender of
decree of states law”. After lapse of his punishment he and
his family were banished to Sedmihradsko, part of Romania. His
children were took away from him by state and reeducated under
catholic influence. His property was confiscated and became part of
catholic property. Jan Maniš has never returned from
Romania. By the year 1780 he died. Hopefully his soul in the heaven
was satisfied by issuing the Tolerance degree in 1781.
