history
The oldest written report about the village belonging to the Rosa Coeli monastery was made in 1257, when Vranovice was parished to the rebuilt church in Briwiz . The village was built on the floodplain of the old Šatava at the intersection of the Amber Road from Poland to Hungary with other trade routes. After the monastery was closed, the Czech Vice Chancellor Jiří Žabka from Limberg bought the village in the middle of the 15th century. Burian Žabka sold in 1566 the goods Prštice and Vlasatice including Vranovice to Albrecht Černohorský von Boskowitz . After his death, his brother Johann Schembera Černohorský von Boskowitz inherited the property. He sold the rule Vlasatice-Prštice in 1572 to Franz Graf von Thurn. After the Battle of the White Mountain , Cardinal Franz Seraph von Dietrichstein acquired the village. In the course of time the place name changed to Prennwiz or Brannowitz . The inhabitants of the village lived from agriculture and viticulture. In the hoof register of 1656 81 properties are noted for the village. 1790 lived in the place 562 people. On July 7th, 1839 the main South Moravian railway line from Brno to Lundenburg was inaugurated. In 1840 a big fire broke out in Branovice, caused by flying sparks from the railway. 7 residents died; 20 houses, 37 chalets and 27 barns fell to rubble. In 1849 a cholera epidemic claimed 34 victims.
After the abolition of patrimonial Branowitz / Branovice formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Auspitz and the judicial district Židlochovice. In 1855 cholera broke out again. 87 residents died within six weeks. In 1859 and 1860 Branovice was hit again by two major fires.
