history
The oldest documented tradition of Chropyně dates from 1261, when Smil von Zbraslav and Střílky donated the place to the newly built Cistercian monastery Smilheim near Vizovice . In 1457 Georg von Podiebrad sold Chropyně to Johann von Ludanitz on Rokytnice . Under the lords of Ludanitz, Chropyně became the seat of a small manor. During this time, the Bohemian Brethren congregation was established , which ran a school. In 1535 Emperor Ferdinand I gave Chropyně market rights.
In 1567 the von Ludanitz family sold the rule to Vratislav von Pernstein , who in the same year exchanged it with Hans and Adam von Haugwitz on Biskupitz for the Litomyšl estate . At that time the fish ponds were created and Chropyně became famous for its fish farming. Although the Haugwitz, unlike the Reformed Ludanitzers, were Catholics, the period of their rule was marked by tolerance towards the Bohemian Brethren. In 1579, the governor of Moravia, Hans von Haugwitz, began building the new fortress New Haugwitz (Nový Haugvicov), for which Emperor Rudolf II had given his approval two years earlier . When the black Haugwitz , as he was called, died in 1580, the building remained unfinished and from 1581 the owners of the Chropin estate changed in quick succession.
In 1615, Bishop Franz Seraph von Dietrichstein bought the Chropin estate for the Olomouc bishopric and gave the Žďár nad Sázavou estate in payment. The Brothers School founded by Wenzel von Ludanitz was closed in 1616 and converted into a Catholic church school in the course of re- Catholicization. During the Thirty Years War in 1643 parts of the village were burned down. Until the replacement of patrimonial in 1848 , Chropin remained in episcopal ownership. In the years 1811, 1851, 1855, 1859, 1871, 1875 and 1878 major city fires broke out that destroyed parts of the inner-city development, which at that time consisted of a large number of wooden houses and buildings with wooden shingle roofs. In 1864 Plešovec was incorporated.
The Chropiner Zuckerfabrik AG was founded in 1868 and one year later the railway from Prerau to Brno was put into operation , which led to the establishment of further companies. The extinguishing water pond on the market square was drained in 1877 and converted into a park. The journey of Emperor Franz Joseph I , who came by train from Vienna through the train station in Chropin in 1880 and was greeted by over 10,000 people from all over the area, was a big event for the market town . In 1892 the roof of the castle tower burned out. The foundation stone for the new town hall was laid in 1902, and the road to Kroměříž was built in the same year .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the course of the Moštěnka was regulated as flood protection. The castle pond was declared a nature reserve in 1925 because of its water nut population . A memorial was erected for the meritorious mayor Antonín Homolík in 1930 during the time of Czechoslovakia , which was removed from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia during the German occupation and rebuilt in 1995. The Prague - Zlín motorway, designed by German engineers in 1938, was supposed to lead via Chropin and meet the route of the Wroclaw-Vienna Reichsautobahn, which was also planned , and the place was to have a connection to the Danube-Oder Canal . However, these plans were dashed by the Second World War. From May 1-7, 1945, German troops gathered in Chropin for a battle in the Kojetein area , which did not take place after the surrender of the German Reich. The Chropiner Zuckerfabrik, since 1924 an independent company nationalized after 1945, which was founded in Vienna under the direction of Robert Schoeller , ceased production in 1949. In 1969, the Technoplast company was established in the production buildings of the former sugar factory. Chropyně has had city rights since 1970.
