history

Church of the Virgin Mary Cradle Festival

In the second half of the 13th century, the two villages Brníčko and Sluhoňov were built on the Loučkabach. Based on the construction of the presbytery, the Brníčko Church must have been built at that time. In the first written mention, which took place in 1350 together with the Brníčko Castle, Brníčko was already referred to as a small town that formed the economic center of the Brníčko dominion that emerged from the Dubicko dominion. Owners of the estate were the Otaslavice from Brníčko, the pike from Slavoňov, the Valdiken from Schönwald and from 1434 the Tunkl from Brníčko. In 1442 the Tunkl also acquired Hohenstadt and called themselves Tunkl von Hohenstadt . Under Johann Tunkl, the Hochstein rule was added in 1464 and he united the three dominions into one. The castle, which was captured and damaged during the Bohemian-Hungarian battles for the Bohemian Crown in 1471, continued to serve as a manor house, but Hohenstadt had become the main seat of the manor. After Johann Tunkl's death in 1484, his sons Johann the Younger and Georg the Elder jointly inherited the rule. Georg took his seat in Hohenstadt and Johann in Brünnles. A little later the castle was abandoned and in 1490 it is no longer listed as a manorial seat in the Brno land tables. In 1494 there was the first demonstrable uprising against the authorities in Moravia. Because of the high front loads involved in the construction of the Hohenstädter Ponds, revolting subjects attacked Georg the elder Tunkl and fatally injured him.

In 1585 ten properties were named in the land register for the town of Brníčko. There were also the villages of Brné with 10 and Sluhoňov with 6 farms. These were freed from reversion to the subjects by the Lords of Boskowitz and inherited. After the battle of the White Mountain , the Hohenstadt domain belonging to Ladislav Velen von Zerotein was confiscated in 1622 and handed over to Karl von Liechtenstein . After the Thirty Years' War, the town of Brníčko merged with Brné and Sluhoňov to form a village whose inhabitants lived from agriculture and forest work in the forests of the Liechtenstein people. At the end of the 18th century Brníčko consisted of 50 houses and had 345 inhabitants. In 1834 600 people lived in the village's 71 houses. Linen weaving was carried out at home and flax was spun. In addition, in the 1830s, the mining of iron ore began, which was delivered to the smelters of Zöptau and Blansko .

After the abolition of patrimonial Brünnles / Brníčko with the district Unterbrünnles from 1850 formed a municipality in the Hohenstadt district. In 1910 there were 114 houses with 852 residents in Brno. In 1930 the village had 819 inhabitants. In 1933 František Lukas built a swimming pool on the Loučka.

After the Munich Agreement , the village was annexed to the German Empire in 1938 and belonged to the Hohenstadt district until 1945 . In 1939 the number of inhabitants had not changed compared to 1930. During the time of National Socialism, some of the residents joined the resistance, partly through emigration and service in the Czechoslovak Army in Exile or by supporting the resistance groups in North Moravia.

After the Second World War, the Liechtenstein property was confiscated. After the communists came to power in February 1948, the persecution of several former members of the foreign army began. General Karel Lukas was beaten to death in Pankrác and other former resistance fighters were sentenced to long prison terms. At the end of 1960 the Okres Zábřeh was dissolved and the municipality was assigned to the Okres Šumperk. 1976 Strupšín was incorporated. In 1991, Brníčko consisted of 221 houses with 605 residents and 21 holiday homes.

Attractions

The ruins of the Gothic Brníčko Castle
  • Ruins of the Gothic castle Brníčko on the 403 m high hill Hradní Kopec east above the village; the complex, probably built in the 2nd half of the 13th and 1st half of the 14th century by the lords of Otaslavice, was first inscribed in the land table in 1356 . From 1387 it belonged to Bernhard Hecht von Slavoňov, later the Vladiken von Schönwald and from 1434 Johann Tunkl [Dunckel] von Drahanowitz, who named himself after the castle as Tunkl von Brníčko. In 1471 the castle was taken by supporters of the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus . Subsequently, the damaged castle was no longer used as a stately home and fell into disrepair. Since 1513 it has been called desolate.
  • Church of the Mariä Wiegenfest, late Romanesque building from the 13th century
