history

City center of Bodenstadt

It is generally believed that Potštát was a fortified place with a landlord long before it was first mentioned in a document in 1322 . The name Potštát / Bodenstadt probably goes back to the name of the locator who acquired the space from the landlord to suspend a place (Bodenstadt = Bodo city, the city ​​of Boto, Botho, Poto, Potho, Pot or Puta ). According to legend, the name “Boden-Stadt” came into being after the Thirty Years War, when the completely destroyed Potštát was rebuilt and like a mushroom “grew out of the ground”.

It is said that Potštát supplied tools and bar irons between 990 and 998 for the construction of the town of Mährisch Weißkirchen . In addition to the landlord and the locator, monks and the Hradisch Monastery , which was built as a pleasure palace by order of Duke Břetislav I in 1030 and expanded into a Benedictine monastery in 1078 by his son Otto von Olomouc, should be mentioned for the cultivation, reclamation and settlement of Potštát . The first “memorial book”, which was destroyed in a fire in 1787 and reported by Potštát and only survived in a few contemporary extracts, dates from the year 1235. This so-called “black book” reports, among other things, that Potštát was already around 1035 was protected by a city wall.

Potštát was devastated in 1241 or 1252. It is not certain whether the devastation occurred around 1241 by the Tatars or around 1252 by the Cuman incursions of Belas IV . In 1258 the destroyed city was rebuilt with settlers from Thuringia and Saxony. In 1322 the city was first mentioned in a document as a nickname "Zawisch de Potenstadt". In 1329 Potštát received town and market rights, town colors and a coat of arms. In 1330 there was a famine in Potštát. In 1357/58 the plague raged in Potštát. In 1359 the city was mentioned as an epithet "Wilhelm von Potstat", which could be identical with "Wilhelm von Kunstadt".

Around 1368 the rule of Potštát / Bodenstadt was owned by Boček I of Podebrady , who died in 1373. His son of the same name Boček II transferred the rule to his wife Anna Elisabeth von Leipa ( Anna Eliška z Lipé ) in 1377 as a marriage property. 1394 Potštát received from Margrave Prokop the city charter , the 1,395 mile right . In the same year a pastor from Potštát was mentioned for the first time.

Prussinowitz era

In 1408 Boček II of Podebrady sold the Potštát dominion to Thaddeus von Prussinowitz ( Tas z Prusinovic ). In 1409 Potštát had a glassworks. In 1429 the Hussites passed through Potštát. In 1437, Johann Potstasky von Prussinowitz was named as the successor to Thaddeus Potstasky von Prussinowitz . He transferred Potštát and all his goods to his wife Anna as marriage goods.

In 1453 looting and epidemics occurred in the Bodenstädter Ländchen . The Potštát glassworks was destroyed. The widowed Anna took in her dead husband's brother, Ignatz Potstasky, on her marriage property in community. In 1464 Prokop Potstasky sat in Potštát. In 1480, Silesians settled in Potštát, which was depopulated due to disease, and a Hynek Potstasky was mentioned in a document. In 1492, Betrich Potstasky was named as the owner of the Potštát estates . In 1536 several people were named as owners / shareholders of the Potštát estates: Prokop, Wenceslaus the Elder, Albrecht, Mladota, the brothers Wenceslaus the Younger and Zibrid Potstasky.

In 1549 Wenceslaus the Elder Potštát founded a hospital. In 1556 he lifted the land rate. In 1573, the owners / shareholders of the Potštáter estates were: Alexander, Dyonis and Betrich the Younger Potstasky. In 1588, Betrich the Younger was named as the only gentleman on Potštát . Around 1590 Bernhard Potstasky, the son of Betrich the Younger, became lord of Potštát. During this time Tobias Janka (approx. 1589–1652) was born in Potštát. He is the progenitor of a 230-year-old Potštát shoemaker dynasty (from around 1590 to around 1820). In 1613, Bernhard Potstasky donated a poor house to the city. In 1615 Johann Stiasny Potstasky, Bernhard's son, released 33 Potštát citizens from the obligation to buy stately wine.

Thirty Years' War

In the Thirty Years' War lost Johann Stiasny Potstasky the Potštáter goods because it continues the uprising of the Moravian estates against the 1619 winning the Emperor Ferdinand II. Was involved. He died in 1621. Although Potštát was robbed several times by the troops of the Danish military leader Mansfeld , it remained loyal to the emperor and received its privileges confirmed in 1629/30. In 1634 Margravine Charlotte of Austria (* 1591 - † January 12, 1662), also called Doña Carolina d 'Austria or Princess of Chontecroy , received the illegitimate daughter of Rudolf II and widow of Count Franz Thomas Perrenot de Granvelle from Emperor Ferdinand II. the Potštáter goods. In 1636 the suffragan bishop Friedrich Bresina von Stubrig inaugurated the parish church of Potštát.

In 1642 the Swedes invaded Potštát and the surrounding area; Under General Marteigne and Colonel Dörflin, numerous atrocities happened against the Potštát population. While fleeing from the Swedes, many Potštáters died of hunger and cold in the forests. A year later Potštát offered bitter resistance, so that the Swedes had to leave without having achieved anything. The resistance collapsed in 1647 when the Swedes again marched against Potštát and took the city without any effort. It was not until 1650 that the Swedes left northern Moravia.

In 1651/52, after the withdrawal of the Swedes and three years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, there was great hardship in Potštát. Many goods were given cheaply. There was a wave of emigration. The city's patroness, Doña Carolina d 'Austria , died in 1662. Her son, Eugene Leopold, died in 1637 and left no heirs. For this reason the Potštát estates fell back to the “Crown of Bohemia”.

Walderode and Desfours-Walderode

Potštát Castle (Bodenstadt)

In 1663, Emperor Leopold I sold the Potštát goods to the Imperial Court Councilor Johann Freiherr von Walderode von Eckhausen (1593–1674). The new rule could not prevent the population from falling even further until 1670. There were numerous witch trials in and around Potštát. In 1680 the city recovered as a result of new robot regulations . Trade increased and Potštát was given higher jurisdiction ( ius cladi ). In 1670, Baron von Walderode decided that the Bodenstadt and Liebenthal estates should be bequeathed to the male descendants of his late son Nikolaus Ferdinand. The line Nikolaus Ferdinand von Walderode expired in 1746 and the rule of Bodenstadt fell to Franz Graf von Walderode († 1797) , who came from a different line . After his death, his only surviving daughter, Johanna Maria von Walderode, widowed Countess von Renard , inherited the property. Her inheritance came from her nephew Count Josef von Desfours († 1839). This was a son of Franz Wenzel Graf von Desfours († 1810) and Countess Antonie Walderode von Eckhausen († 1776). He added that of his mother to his name and called himself Desfours-Walderode from then on . After his death, the property came to his only son, Count Franz Vinzenz Adam von Desfours-Walderode (1806–1869) and when Franz Adam died, his second son Arthur Maximilian Count von Desfours-Walderode (1852–1917). The latter died in 1917 and left the Fideikommiß rule Bodenstadt to his only son Sigismund (1882-1936). After his childless death, the rule fell to Count Kuno von Desfours-Walderode . The Imperial Counts stayed in Bodenstadt until they were expelled in 1946.

In 1866 Prussian troops dragged cholera into Bodenstadt, which led to the death of over 30 people. Between 1938 and 1945 Bodenstadt belonged to the district of Bärn .
