history

The place was first mentioned in 1131. According to tradition, the name of the place should come from the bishops who called it Biskupský dvorec at that time . Other owners were Jan Purkant in 1445 and Christoph von Waldstein from 1543 , who also had a fortress built here. In 1573 he sold the place with the farms, malt house, bakery, brewery, smithy and sheep farm to Ladislaus the younger of Lobkowicz . Since 1622 a community seal showing a hip has been proven. During the Thirty Years' War the place was completely devastated, in 1656 16 of the 22 properties were still in desolation. Under the reign of Empress Maria Theresa and her son Joseph II , the land was divided among the subjects who had to pay emphyteutic rents. In 1834 31 houses burned down and were soon rebuilt in stone with the support of the General Mutual Fire Insurance Agency.

In 1835 the village of Biskupka , located in the Znojmo district , consisted of 37 houses in which 177 people lived. There was a manorial farm in the village . The parish and school location was Řeznowitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Biskupka remained subordinate to the Fideikommiss-Primogeniturherrschaft Moravian-Krummau .

After the abolition of patrimonial Biskupsko / Biskupka formed a community in the judicial district of Mährisch Kromau from 1849 . From 1869 Biskupsko belonged to the Moravian Kromau district , at that time 203 people in the village. Since the end of the 19th century, Biskoupka , Biskupsko and Biskoupky were used alternatively as place names. In 1893 a school was built. In the 1921 census, 265 Czechs lived in the 52 houses of the community. In 1924 Biskoupky was made the official place name. The place was electrified in 1927. On June 29, 1930, the volunteer fire brigade was founded. After the German occupation, the community was reclassified to the judicial district of Eibenschütz and the district of Brno-Land in 1939 ; until 1945 Biskoupky / Biskoupka belonged to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . In the final phase of the Second World War, the partisan group "Josef Hybeš" operated in the area. On April 17, 1945, all men in the village over the age of 14 were arrested by the German occupiers and transported to an estate in Nová Ves ; the approaching front prevented the planned shooting. On May 2, the Red Army took the place. After the end of the war, the old district structures were restored. In 1950 Biskoupky had 254 inhabitants. In the course of the territorial reform and the repeal of the Okres Moravský Krumlov, the municipality was assigned to the Okres Brno-venkov on July 1, 1960 . In the same year, the Královopolska strojírna built a pioneer camp two kilometers upstream opposite the ruins of Templštejn on the Jihlava . The school was closed in 1967 due to insufficient student numbers. On January 1, 1986 it was incorporated into Oslavany , and Biskoupky has been in existence again since November 24, 1990. At the 2001 census, 177 people lived in the 69 houses of Biskoupky.
