history
Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area. One of the most important finds is a Bronze Age urn grave, which was discovered in the 1880s on the Druhý díl corridor on the western edge of the town and examined by Wilhelm Gurlitt and M. Helf from 1886 . Further finds dating back to the Stone Age were made, among others. a. from 1940 on the construction of the Reichsautobahn in the valley of the Žerůtský potok. Slavic body graves were found outside the cemetery wall, two of which were decorated with rings suspended in chains. Three other skeletons wore silver-plated bronze rings that were probably used to hold bunches of hair in a snake shape around the head. All burials took place in an east-west direction, with the head of the deceased placed in the east with a view to the north.
The first written mention of the place Boržutow was on a document dated 1173 and reproduced in 1240 from the Hradisko monastery , in which the brothers Všeslav and Jakub von Boržutow were listed as witnesses. Boržutow was on the Strenitzer Steig and was the seat of the Vladiken family of the same name, and there were two manors in the village. The older farm was located south of the village on the Zádvoří corridor on a terrace above the Býkovka, the Špitálka farm was across from the Býkovka between Boržutow and Černá Hora. In 1355 Jakub Čert von Boržutow sold a farm together with three houses, the tavern and other lands to Beneš von Boskowitz . In 1371 Ulrich von Boskowitz was named as the owner of the Boržutow estate with the associated villages Jestřebí , Lhota Rapotina , Klemov, Žďár and Lhota. In 1378 Přibík von Boržutow assigned the tavern and five Hufen land as well as the village of Lhota to his son Linhart, who in 1382 sold his property to Jesco von Kunstadt . At the end of the 14th century, the Vladiken family of Boržutow died out. The owners of the various shares changed in quick succession, including the von Drahanowitz, Černohorský von Boskowitz, von Kunstadt, von Cimburk and von Hostěhrádek families.
Over time, the village received the German name Porstendorf , in Czech it was called Boržítow . In 1477 Philipp Pul owned a part of Boržítow, he and his descendants, who acquired the Bohuslavice estate in 1550 , got the title Pul of Boržítow ( Bul z Bořitova ). After the parish had temporarily become Hussite in the 15th century, St. George's Church was consecrated again as a Catholic parish church for the villages of Bořitov, Jestřebí , Spešov , Krhov , Bejkovice , Černá Hora , Dlouhá Lhota , Brťov , Žernovník and in 1480 Bukovice. The Černá Hora lordship gradually acquired all of Porstendorf's shares. In 1487 the Boržítower pastor Jan Húska translated the Chronicle of Aeneas Sylvius from Latin into Czech. In 1520 mercenaries of Adalbert von Pernstein raided the place. Because of the damage done in the entire parish district, Dobeš Černohorský von Boskowitz brought an action for damages against Pernstein from 1521 at the Moravian regional court. In 1597, after the death of his father-in-law Jan Schembera Černohorský von Boskowitz, the rule of Černá Hora fell to Charles I of Liechtenstein . After the House of Liechtenstein , the Auersperg family acquired power. Messrs. Fries von Frieseberg followed later.
Before the Thirty Years War the village consisted of 51 properties. In 1659 14 of them were desolate. Registries have been in German since 1642. The first mention of a parish school took place in 1653. In the 18th century, the Strenitzer Steige was expanded to become the Kaiserstrasse from Prague via Brno to Vienna . Until 1785 the children of all parish villages were taught in Porstendorf. In 1793 569 people lived in the 96 houses in Porstendorf. In 1839 a branch school was established in Jestřebí, so that only the children from the village and those from Krhov were taught in Porstendorf. During the storm on August 24, 1843, the flood tore away the front of the school building. A new school building was then built for two-class lessons. In 1844, teaching in Jestřebí was stopped again and the children were sent back to the Porstendorfer school. In 1846 the place had grown to 119 houses and had 715 inhabitants.
After the abolition of patrimonial Bořítov formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Boskovice . In 1854 the municipality was assigned to the judicial district of Blansko . From 1874, after the death of Pastor Basil Borek, the new dean Klement Pospíšil made entries in the church registers in the Czech language. A school of its own was inaugurated in Krhov in 1881. In 1886 the three-class schooling for the 267 pupils from Porstendorf and Jestřebí was started. At the end of the 19th century, the Czech place name was changed to Bořitov . At the beginning of the 20th century, Bořitov was the seventh largest place in the Boskovice district administration with an area of almost 10 km². In 1940, to the west of the village, work began on the construction of the Reichsautobahn, which was demolished in 1941, using English prisoners of war. After the dissolution of Okres Boskovice, the municipality came to Okres Blansko at the beginning of 1961 . Bořitov is a Catholic parish for Jestřebí, Spešov and Krhov.
