history

The first written mention of the village belonging to the Olomouc bishopric was made in 1131 in connection with the church in Břeclav . The name of the place derives from a person Želeta . The original village was east of today's on the Želítky corridor. During the colonization phase in the middle of the 13th century, Želetice was greatly expanded and a church was built. In 1274, Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg handed Želetice with 24 hubs of land and other accessories to the brothers Frank and Albert Stockfisch as a fief. In 1418 the village belonged to Andreas Sysl von Schelletitz, and between 1455 and 1459 to Wenzel von Rechenberg. Protivec von Zástřizl bought the goods from this . In 1530 the Lords of Zástřizl left the village of Ctibor Vranovský from Vranov. A little later, Želetice was sacked by the Turks.

From 1538 Jan von Vranov owned Želetice, followed in 1553 by Beneš Krčma von Koněpas. When the Hungarian rebels under Stephan Bocskai invaded the village, it was devastated and plundered. The old festival went out. In the 1580s the church and the rectory were in such poor condition that the Michael Krčma diocese of Koněpas threatened to be fiefdom. In 1608 the abbot of Obrowitz monastery, Simon von Fargasch, bought the fief together with his brother Bartholomäus for 6,000 Moravian guilders. The Fargasch brothers passed the feudal property on in 1614 for 6,509 Moravian guilders to the Protestant Georg Berger von Berg ( Jiří Pergar z Pergu ) on Uhřice, who held the property until 1619.

At the beginning of the Thirty Years War, the village was hit several times between 1619 and 1623 by invasions by the Turks and Hungarians. After the Battle of White Mountain , the goods were confiscated and in 1622 lent to the Steinitz rulership . During the war, the place was burned down in further military incidents and deserted by epidemics. After the parish in Želetice had expired, the village was parish in 1643 after Steinitz. In 1650 Gundaker von Liechtenstein bought the fiefdom from the diocese. In 1656 only eleven of the 44 properties in the village were managed. In 1663 the Turks invaded Želetice. The Liechtensteiners built a fortified manor in Schelletitz, which was first mentioned in 1671 as the New Citadel. Between 1705 and 1713 the village was plundered several times by the Kuruc , despite the guard posts stationed on the Strážná near Dražůvky and the Výhon near Nenkovice . After the May 20, 1710 incursion, in which the church, the parish and 25 houses were robbed, the guards were accused of negligence.

In 1713 a fire destroyed the small chapel by the church. Josef Wenzel I von Liechtenstein had the chapel restored between 1721 and 1732. In 1777 a school building was built next to the church. The Želetice parish was rebuilt in 1785, and a new parsonage and cemetery were built at the same time. At the end of the 18th century there were repeated disputes between the village community and the rulers over their rights, in particular over the use of the corridors of the drained ponds Horní and Dolní rybník in the Trkmanka valley. The Liechtenstein administrator von Steinitz Fučíkovský, notorious for his ruthlessness, remained in glorious memory for generations later. In 1805, after the battle of Austerlitz, the French invaded and harassed the residents. Until the middle of the 19th century, Želetice always remained subordinate to Steinitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Želetice / Schelletitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Gaya and the judicial district Steinitz . During the National Revival, Pastor Josef Průdek began to keep registers in Czech in 1849. This was soon forbidden to him by the Brno Bishop Anton Ernst von Schaffgotsch . In 1887 a major fire destroyed 28 houses in the village. 1906 began the construction of the 26 km long railway line Čejč – Ždánice north of the village , which was opened in 1908. In 1946 a kindergarten was set up. After the Okres Kyjov was abolished, the place was assigned to the Okres Hodonín in 1960. In 1970 the area was hit by a flood of the Trkmanka. In 1985 the agricultural production cooperative JZD “Sovětské armády” established a fallow deer farm near Želetice. In 1998, passenger transport on the Čejč – Ždánice railway line was discontinued and the section between Uhřice and Ždánice was completely closed in 2006. The school was closed in 2005. The buildings and facilities of the fallow deer farm are now used for recreational purposes.
