history

Archaeological finds by Jaroslav Palliardi show that the area was settled in the Neolithic Age .

Beskowe was first mentioned in writing in 1252, when Margrave Ottokar II. Přemysl confirmed to the Church of St. Hippolytus on the Pöltenberg the possession of the village, which was donated by King Wenceslaus I the Cross with the Red Star on the Stone Bridge in Prague in 1240 . Beskowe , together with Mašovice, formed the basis for the Pöltenberg cross- lords' provost , built in 1259 under provost Karl. In the 14th century there was also a manor house in Beskov . In 1385 Bohuslav von Beskov sold a quarter of a hood to Jan von Beskov, who in the same year also bought half of the farm and its accessories from Martin von Beskov.

During the Thirty Years War the village became deserted. After the end of the war for Bezkov in hooves nregister ( Lánský rejstřík ) reported 26 property, nine of which were desolate. In total, the village consisted of eight Hufen. The place on the language border had become German-speaking at that time. During the 19th century, Bezkov became Czech-speaking again.

In 1834 the village of Weskau or Beskow consisted of 40 houses with 218 mixed-language residents. The main source of income was agriculture. There was a tavern in the village and a hunter's house apart. The parish and school location was Groß Maispitz . Weskau remained subordinate to the Pöltenberg monastery until the middle of the 19th century . The place of office was the Pöltenberg market.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Weskau / Beskov 1849 a district of the town of Gross Maispitz in the judicial district of Znojmo. In 1867 Weskau broke away from Groß Maispitz and formed its own community. In 1868 it became part of the Znojmo region. Since the 1870s, the community had the Czech name Veskov , but the surrounding places mostly used the names Bezkov and Beskov . In 1890, 272 people lived in the 53 houses in the village. At the 1900 census, Veskov had 295 inhabitants, all of them Czechs and Catholics. The connecting road to Mašovice was built in 1912. After the First World War , the multi-ethnic state Austria-Hungary disintegrated and the village became part of the Czechoslovak Republic . In 1921 Veskov consisted of 68 houses and had 297 inhabitants, most of whom were Czech and Catholic. The municipality cadastre covered an area of ​​607 hectares, 54 hectares of which were owned by the municipality. In 1923, the municipality bought the Panský rybník, located in the middle of the village, and had it drained. The official Czech place name was set in 1924 Bezkov .

In the mid-1930s, a light bunker line of the Czechoslovak Wall was built in the fields between Weskau and Luggau . Weskau was electrified in 1931. According to the Munich Agreement, the village remained with Czechoslovakia in 1938, but together with Groß Maispitz had been deprived of all transport links with the inland since October 13, 1938. The roads to Edmitz , Luggau , Milleschitz , Baumöhl and Oberfröschau all led into the German Empire. Both communities were separated from the Czechoslovakian area by the Granitzgrund, through which only muddy roads without bridges led to Brenditz and Kasern. After the border adjustment of November 20, 1938, when Edmitz was exchanged for Groß Maispitz, Weskau was again given a road connection to the hinterland, but was surrounded on all sides by the Reich territory with the exception of the northeast. Bezkov / Weskau was then assigned to the district and judicial district of Mährisch Budwitz until 1945. After the end of the Second World War, Bezkov became part of the Okres Znojmo again.
