history

Bischofswarth was first in Liechtenstein - Urbar mentioned the year 1414th The name referred to a raised point in the area, the Wartberg. In 1570 it was mentioned as a newly established village. This was probably the successor village of Allach ( Alosch ) and Königsbrunn, which were desolate in the 15th century and which were located north of Feldsberg. Most of the new immigrants were Croatians who were assimilated by Slovak immigrants over the centuries. Bischofswarth belonged to Lower Austria until 1919 , but was ceded to Czechoslovakia by the Treaty of St. Germain after the breakup of Austria-Hungary . After the Munich Agreement in 1938, it was added to the German Reich. After the end of the Second World War it fell back to Czechoslovakia.

The registers have originally been kept at Feldsberg since 1615 and are now in the Brno State Archives.

The place seal has been known since the last quarter of the 16th century. It shows a simple baroque shield with a heart at the base from which a young tree sprouts. Three branches grow out of the tree, each with an apple blossom. The tree is covered with a plow, which stands for agriculture.
