history

The village was laid out as a typical forest hoof village during the development of the country and named after its locator Žibota . The first written mention of Životice took place in 1399. Since 1411, the village has been documented as part of the Stralenberg Castle estate ; as Latzek (I.) of Krawarn on Helfenstein that year his Stralenberger subjects of escheat freed, is Ziboticz listed under the corresponding to the castle 16 villages. Around 1430 the Lords of Cimburg acquired the rule. In 1437, the executors of Ctibor von Cimburg and Křídlo sold his entire goods to Wilhelm Puklitz von Posoritz on Alttitschein. The robber barons Puklitz von Posoritz later sold the rule to Heinrich von Boskowicz and Czernahor . In 1478, his sons Tobias and Benedikt von Boskowicz and Czernahor sold the Stramberg estate with the town of Stramberg and eleven villages, including Ziboticze , to Benedikt von Hustopetsch. In 1451 a wooden church was built and it was consecrated on August 9, 1488. In 1516 a bailiwick was first mentioned in Ziboticze . In 1523 Ziboticze was the first village in Moravia to be bought free from the Robot . Benedikt's son Latzek von Hustopetsch sold the reign in 1531 to Bernard von Zierotin on Fulnek , who bequeathed it to his nephew Viktorin the following year. After the death of Viktorin von Zierotin, his two sons shared the inheritance in 1533; Wilhelm received Alttitschein , his brother Friedrich got Neutitschein with the castle and the town of Stramberg as well as Zibotitz and ten other villages. Since 1537 there was a parish in Zibotitz . To the east - on the saddle between Jedle and Hlásnice - was the village of Zdislavice at that time, which probably became extinct as a result of a disaster. In 1558 the city of Neutitschein bought itself free from its subordination and also acquired Stramberg and the eleven villages. Two years later the parish of Zibotitz became Protestant. After the Battle of the White Mountain, King Ferdinand II confiscated the town of Neutitschein and its goods in 1621, and in 1624 conferred rule on the Olomouc Jesuit Foundation. At the same time, the residents of Zibotitz were again required to use robots. The parish went out during this time. The Jesuits had the village, which was deserted during the Thirty Years' War, repopulated with German colonists, which made the place German-speaking in the 17th century and given the German name Seitendorf . In 1689 a parish was set up again, Wernsdorf , Murk , Hotzendorf and Hostaschowitz were included . At the beginning of the 18th century the robber captain Gajdušek had his hiding place in the woods near Seitendorf . Even after he and some of his people were executed in 1719, the forests around Seitendorf remained a robber's nest until the gang was completely evacuated in 1736. In 1715 the plague broke out. In 1705, 1742, 1760 and 1779 the Titsch floods caused severe damage. During the flood of 1760, the school building was also torn away. After the abolition of the Jesuit order , the reign of Neutitschein was transferred to the Theresian Knight Academy in Vienna in 1781 without the town of Neutitschein, which was again released from subordination in 1775 . In 1821 the knight academy had a new school house built in Seitendorf.

In 1835, the village of Seitendorf or Ziwotice , located in the Prerau district on the trading route leading from Neutitschein to Wallachisch Meseritsch , consisted of 101 houses in which 621 people, including five Protestants, lived. The main source of income was agriculture. The parish church of John the Baptist and the school were under stately patronage. In addition, a mill was operated on the Titsch. Seitendorf was the pastor for Murk, Hostaschowitz and Hotzendorf. Seitendorf remained subordinate to the Neu-Titschein rulership until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial Seitendorf / Životice formed a municipality in the judicial district of Neutitschein from 1849 . From 1869 Seitendorf belonged to the Neutitschein district. At that time the village had 722 inhabitants and consisted of 108 houses. In 1898 a treasure of 92 Hungarian gold ducats from the 15th and 16th centuries were unearthed on the village judge's estate near an old linden tree; the judge had the find divided among poor families. The church burned down on November 14, 1898. The oldest known tower head writings of the Kuhländchen from the years 1647, 1662, 1698 and 1715, which reported on historical events, were also lost. The late Gothic shrine altar from 1482 was saved and is now in the Moravian Gallery in Brno . In 1902 the new stone church was consecrated. In 1900, 835 people lived in Seitendorf ; In 1910 there were 857, including 74 Czechs. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1919, a Czech minority school was opened in addition to the German trivial school. The predominantly German-speaking village was on the language border and - with the exception of Blauendorf and Söhle - was surrounded by Moravian -speaking villages. In 1930 Seitendorf consisted of 138 houses and had 837 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the predominantly German-speaking village was added to the German Reich in 1938. In 1939, 899 people lived in the community, including 120 Czechs. Until 1945 Seitendorf belonged to the district of Neu Titschein . After the end of the Second World War, the village came back to Czechoslovakia, and by 1946 most of the German residents were expelled. In 1950 Životice had 577 inhabitants. On January 1, 1975, Životice was incorporated into Nový Jičín . On January 1, 1993 Životice broke away from Nový Jičín and formed the municipality Životice u Nového Jičína.
