history

Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area, while building the road to Kravsko in 1911 paleolithic flint tools were found.

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1252, when Margrave Přemysl the Kreuzherrenkommende Pöltenberg confirmed the ownership of goods, forests, meadows, a vineyard and a mill in Cechmicz , which had been acquired in the same year from a certain Zungelman. In 1287 King Wenceslas II confirmed the possession of two hubs and a farm in Edmic to the Church of St. Michael in Znojmo , the same was done in 1336 by King John of Luxembourg . In the privileges granted to the city of Znojmo by Margrave Karl in 1348 , Etmicz is already listed as the property of the city, and the village was exempt from all taxes. In 1411 the pastor Gallus zu St. Michael claimed the tithe from the village and Kreuzherrenhof Citonice from the Pöltenberg provost Hašek. Although the pastor could not make his claims credible, the provost agreed to an amicable agreement for an annual grain delivery from his court to the pastor. In 1487 the city gave the provost Johann von Pacov its approval of two fish ponds on the Kreuzherrengut. At the beginning of the 16th century the Kreuzherrenhof fell into disrepair. In 1538 the Propstei Pöltenberg sold the desolate farm for 80 Schock Kreuzer to the city of Znojmo and thus only owned one mill in Citonice, which they exchanged in 1551 at the Znojmo Clarissinnenkloster for the Neunmühle near Kaidling .

During the Thirty Years War the village belonging to the Znojmo Untergut became deserted, and the desolate farming areas were repopulated with German settlers. The Czech settlement area around Znaim became German-speaking at that time, with the exception of Zuckerhandl , the villages were again settled by Czechs until the 19th century.

In 1769 a church was built in Citonice at the expense of the municipality. The Znojmo Jesuits held church services on all Sundays and public holidays in exchange for interest in kind, but the village was parish to Wolframkirchen . In 1773 there were first ideas about the establishment of an own parish. In 1779 school lessons began in a private house, ten years later the first school building was built. On April 10, 1780 the church was raised to a local church under the Deanery of Znojmo. In 1828 the meanwhile inadequate schoolhouse was replaced by a new building.

In 1834 the village Edmitz or Čitonice on the road from Znojmo to Datschitz consisted of 81 houses with 503 mostly Czech-speaking inhabitants. The local church of St. John and Paul and the school were under the patronage of the authorities. There was also an inn in the village. Until the middle of the 19th century Edmitz remained subordinate to the sub-estate of the Znojmo urban estates. The place of administration was the city of Znojmo.

After the abolition of patrimonial Citonice / Edmitz formed a community in the judicial district of Znojmo from 1849. The municipality paid an annual pension of 965 guilders to the city of Znojmo . In 1850 the community built a waterworks. In 1868 the village became part of the Znojmo region. At this time the construction of the Znojmo-Iglau railway began east of the village and was completed in 1871. In 1870 Citonice had its own parish. In 1890 the community forest began to be planted. In that year 483 people lived in the 99 houses in the village. In 1896 the village consisted of 104 houses, the communal property comprised 108 ha 75 a; 466 Czech-speaking Catholics lived in Citonice. In 1901 the community built a new school with a teacher's apartment and sold the old school house. At that time, 76 children were being educated in Citonice. In 1902 Citonice received a stop on the railway. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1906. The road to Kravsko was built in 1911. In 1920 a local branch of the Sokol was established in Citonice , and one of the Orel in 1922 . In 1921, the cadastre covered an area of ​​878 ha 60 a, which was divided into 2294 plots. In front of the school on October 28, 1928, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Czechoslovakia, a liberty linden tree was planted. In 1929 Citonice was electrified. In 1934 a Sokol ( Sokolovna ) gym was built . According to the Munich Agreement , Edmitz, which at that time only had two German residents, was occupied by German troops on October 13, 1938 and assigned to the German district of Znojmo . After the border was established on November 20, 1938, the village was returned to Czechoslovakia four days later in exchange for Groß Maispitz and incorporated into the Okres Moravské Budějovice. Citonice / Edmitz was then the border point of the Protectorate to the German Empire, both the Edmitz stop and Wolframitzkirchen station were already part of German territory. At the end of the Second World War, a military hospital was set up in the school. A child was killed in Edmitz on April 19, 1945 during the Soviet bombing of Znojmo and the surrounding area. After the end of the war the community became part of the Okres Znojmo again .

In 1998 the construction of a new residential area with 70 single-family houses began north of the stop. By the year 2000 a new waterworks, a sewage treatment plant and the connection of the place to the gas supply were built; At that time, work on connecting the land to the sewer system had started. There is a primary school and a kindergarten in Citonice.
