history

According to legends, Chomýž is said to have existed before the Golden Horde invaded in 1241 and was a large village with its own church. The first written mention of Chomicz was in the country table in 1365 , when Boček I of Podebrady acquired a third of the village, which was divided into three parts between the lords of Holešov , Bystřice and Křídlo. Shortly thereafter, he transferred this share to his brother Wilhelm von Kunstadt , who in the same year bought the Křídlo castle from Vlk von Dobrotice, including their share in Chomicz . The castle rule Křídlo fell in 1374 after the death of Boček and Wilhelm to Ctibor of Cimburg . In 1423 the Křídloer part of Chomicz was attached to the rule Bystřice. This made the entire village subservient to Bystřice. In 1437 the village was called Chomyz and in 1527 as Chomiz . The owners, who changed many times, included the lords of Lobkowicz and, from 1650, Johann von Rottal . The place name Chomitz is from 1718 and Chomis from 1751 . With the death of Marie Anna von Rottal, married von Lamberg , the von Rottal family died out in 1762. The following year, Chomis fell to Franz Maximilian Nádasdy as part of the division of the inheritance , who joined it to the Holešov reign. At this time a Wallachian hereditary bailiwick was created in Chomis . The oldest local seal dates from 1779; it shows a shield with a flower and above it a crown and the inscription OA: CHOMISCH: 1779 . In 1836 a school was set up in the village's poor house ( pastouška ), in which the teacher from Bílavsko gave lessons to the children from Chomisch and Brusné. Until the middle of the 19th century, Chomisch always remained submissive to Holešov.

After the abolition of patrimonial Choměz / Chomisch formed from 1850 a community in the district authority Holleschau . In the years 1880 to 1888 the railway from Hullein to Wallachisch Meseritsch was built west of the village . Between 1884 and 1886 a new school building was built, in which the children from Brusné were also taught. The furniture was a gift from the Thonet brothers . From 1890 the municipality was called Chomíž . After the major fire of 1892, which destroyed half the village, a volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1895. The current place name Chomýž has been used since 1910. After the dissolution of the Okres Holešov, the community was assigned to the Okres Kroměříž in 1960. In 1991 the bridge over the Rusava was renovated. The community has had a coat of arms since 1993; it was designed by the heraldist Jiří Louda. On July 6th and 7th, 1997, the municipality was hit by the flood of the Rusava. The municipal office and the syringe house were also flooded; the Rusava Bridge survived its flooding undamaged.

The Chomýž community today consists of 120 houses. The communal property also includes 75 hectares of land and 60 hectares of forest in the Brusné cadastre and part of the Bílavsko parish cemetery.
