history

The first mention of Chwalaticz took place in 1498, when the Czech King Ladislaus Jagiello the castle Bítov dismissed with the associated villages from Lehn and Burian Bítovský of Lichtenburg transferred as a hereditary possession. The place was laid out as a longitudinal tangle village along a small brook and probably named after its locator Chwal . In 1513 the village was called Chwaletycz .

After the Vöttau branch of the Lichtenburg family ( Bítovský z Lichtenburka ) died out, the rule fell to Burian's daughter Ludmilla in 1572, who released the village from the obligation to seize in 1574 . In 1576 Ludmilla transferred the rule to Wolf Strein von Schwarzenau-Hartenstein, who sold it to Friedrich Jankowsky von Wlaschim ( Bedřich Jankovský z Vlašimě ) in 1612 . Since 1718 the place was called Chwallatitz or Kwallatitz . The oldest local seal, probably from the 18th century, shows two swans with entwined necks and bears the inscription SIGIL.ORT.KVALLATITZ . In 1736 the Counts of Daun inherited the property. In 1750 the church was in place of an old chapel, the Church of the Finding of the Cross building, 1785 to a fund donated by religion Lokalie under the Frainer was raised deanery. In 1785 a one-class village school also started teaching. Around 1780, the village of Schröffelsdorf was founded in the immediate vicinity of the Neuhof on the corridors of the dissolved Meierhof , which belongs to the Znojmo Obergut Schidrowitz , near the Schupfen in the Znojmo Freiungswald . In 1793 450 people lived in Chwallatitz . In 1811 a great fire destroyed the whole village including the school and the rectory. Between 1818 and 1821 the rule of Vöttau had the Augustenhof laid out on an extensive meadow in the forest north of Chwallatitz; it consisted of a cattle farm with residential and farm buildings, a large house for six threshing families and a remote sheep farm.

In 1921 Chwallatitz had 408 inhabitants, including 345 Germans and 43 Czechs. In 1924 Schröffelsdorf broke up with Augustenhof and Neuhof von Chwallatitz and formed its own community. In the same year the road from Chwallatitz to Zblovice into the Želetavka valley was built. In 1930 382 people lived in the 99 houses in Chwallatitz, including 337 Germans and 31 Czechs.
