history

Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the community area. Linear ceramic culture settlements were found on the road to Brníčko and in the southern part of the village . During the Great Moravian Empire , Želechovice was an iron smelting center. The 8th century smelter, consisting of a battery of 25 Slavic iron reduction furnaces, was discovered in the 1930s and is the only find of its kind in the Czech Republic.

The first written mention of Zelechowiczi was on February 2, 1078 in the founding deed of the Hradisko Monastery by Duke Otto I and his wife Euphemia of Hungary . The round building, which was placed on a slight rise, had two slightly paved entrances. The fields lay to the east, and the Oskavaniederung to the west was marshland. In 1160 the place was called Selechouici , 1252 as Selechowicz , 1261 as Selichowicz , 1330 as Zelchwicz , 1367 as Zelichow and from 1436 as Zielechowicze or Zzelechowicze . Until the Hussite Wars , the village belonged to the Hradisko Monastery, after which it became part of the Pňovice estate . In 1555 the Berka von Dubá acquired the village and attached it to the Sternberg dominion . The next owner was Karl II von Münsterberg , who had come to the Sternberg rule through marriage in 1570. In 1583 he gave the village its own seal and the privilege of sealing it with green wax. The registers were kept in Uničov from 1607 and in Augezd from 1653 . Swedish troops occupied the area in 1642 and held it until 1650. After the death of Duke Karl Friedrich I. von Münsterberg-Oels, with whom the Silesian line of the Podiebraders died, he was followed in 1647 by his son-in-law Silvius I. Nimrod von Württemberg-Oels . In 1693 Silvius II. Friedrich sold the Sternberg estate to Johann Adam Andreas von Liechtenstein . Other forms of name were Schelechowitz (from 1599), Zielechowitz (from 1678), Schelichowitz (1692), Žielchovice (1766), Zielochovitium (1771), Czlechowitz , Želichovice (1787), Želechowitz (1793) and Želchovice or Zielchowitz (1839). Until the middle of the 19th century, the place always remained subject to the Princely Liechtenstein rule of Sternberg.

After the abolition of patrimonial Želechovice / Zielchowitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district authority Litovel and the judicial district Uničov . From 1855 Želechovice belonged to the Uničov District, from 1868 to the Litovel District and from 1909 to the Sternberg District . Since 1872 the place was called in German as Zilchowitz . 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 , Želechovice remained with the "remaining Czech Republic" and was assigned to the Litovel district and judicial district. During the German occupation the German name Schelechowitz was used again. After the end of the Second World War, Želechovice was again assigned to the Okres Šternberk and judicial district Uničov in 1945. In 1949 the village was also part of the Šternberk judicial district. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960, the place was assigned to the Okres Olomouc after the dissolution of the Okres Šternberk . In 1974 it was incorporated into Uničov. After the Velvet Revolution , Želechovice broke up and formed its own municipality from the beginning of 1991.
