history
Scepanouiche was first mentioned in writing in 1201, when King Ottokar I Přemysl donated the court to the Hradisko monastery on the occasion of the requiem for the dukes Vladimir of Olomouc and Břetislav of Znojmo . From 1273 the place was called Stephansdorf or Stephanow . There is evidence of a parish in Stephansdorf since 1455 . Other forms of name were Sczepanow (1506), Štěpánov (from 1516), Schtenkei (1598), Sstiepanow (1676), Stephanau (from 1751) and Stephanovium (1771). The registers were kept in Hnojice from 1648 and on site from 1668. There is evidence of a school since 1681; it received its own building in 1786. The oldest local seals date from 1749 and 1787; they show St. Laurentius with a grate and palm branch. Until the Franzenshütte iron foundry was founded by Franz Klein in 1844, the inhabitants lived from agriculture and fishing. In 1845 the railway from Olomouc to Prague was put into operation. The Franzenshütte went into operation in 1849.
After the abolition of patrimonial Dolní Štěpánov / Unter Stephanau and Horní Štěpánov / Upper Stephanau formed two communities from 1850 with joint community representation and separate coffers in the district administration of Sternberg . In 1856 the German village school started teaching. In the second half of the 19th century, the ironworks belonging to the Zöptauer and Stefanauer Bergbau- und Eisenhütten-Aktiengesellschaft of the Klein brothers expanded into one of the largest industrial companies in Moravia. The German name Stefanau has been used since 1872 . In 1889 Dolní Štěpánov and Horní Štěpánov merged to form a municipality Dolní Štěpánov. In 1890 the Czech and German schools moved into a new school house together. The Czech place name was changed to Štěpánov on April 16, 1907 . In the 1919 census, the community had 2,814 inhabitants, of which 2,411 were Czechs and 403 Germans. In 1911 another school building for the community school was completed. In the following year, the regulation work on the Oskava began, which was completed after ten years. In 1917 the community was connected to the electricity network. After the district town of Sternberg, which is predominantly inhabited by Germans, and the northern part of the district, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, declared itself part of the Sudetenland province , which was proclaimed on October 29, 1918 , Štěpánov / Stefanau became the Czechoslovak administrative seat for the Czech-speaking part of the district and judicial district Šternberk with the villages Lašťany , Bohuňovice , Štarnov , Moravská Huzová, Štěpánov, Krnov, Liboš , Hnojice , Žerotín and Strukov . When the province of Sudetenland was assigned to Czechoslovakia in 1919 , the offices returned to Šternberk. In 1921 the community had 2957 inhabitants, of which 2559 were Czechs and 398 Germans. In 1923, the municipality submitted an unsuccessful request for elevation to the city. In the 1930 census, there were 3,203 people living in the place, of which 2,796 were Czechs and 384 were Germans. The ironworks was shut down during the Great Depression in 1932. After the pond was drained, the Švehla Garden was created in 1934 with a monument to Antonín Švehla . During the Sudeten crisis in 1938, an internment camp for leaders of the Sudeten German Party was set up on the site of the former ironworks . After large parts of the Sternberg district had to be ceded to the German Reich on October 8, 1938 as a result of the Munich Agreement , Štěpánov remained with the "remaining Czech Republic" and was assigned to the Olomouc region. In 1939 Stefanau had 2974 inhabitants. After the German occupation , the Stefanau camp initially served as a German concentration camp between March 15 and September 28, 1939 . and was used from September 1, 1939 as an internment camp for Czechs arrested as part of the "Albrecht Action". During this time, 151 families with around 400 people from South Moravia, Slovakia and Carpathian Russia moved in. 86 of them left Stefanau very soon and moved inland. Antonín Švehla's bronze bust was overthrown from its pedestal in 1943 on the instructions of the Protectorate Government. After the end of the war, the community came back to Okres Šternberk in 1945, but was reassigned to Okres Olomouc-okolí in 1949. From 1945 to 1946 there was a forced labor camp for Sudeten Germans on the site of the ironworks before they were deported . Since the abolition of the Okres Olomouc-okolí in 1960, Štěpánov belongs to the Okres Olomouc. On July 1, 1960, the incorporation of Březce took place. In 1974 Moravská Huzová was incorporated with Benátky and Stádlo, two years later Liboš with Krnov and Jílkov. In 1988 a new school pavilion for the primary school was inaugurated. Liboš, Krnov and Jílkov broke up on December 31, 1990 and formed their own community. Štěpánov has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1997. On December 31, 2004 the community had 3336 inhabitants; 2547 of them lived in Štěpánov, 332 in Moravská Huzová, 249 in Březce, 124 in Stádlo and 84 in Benátky. In 2006 the village was partially flooded when the Oskava flooded.
