history
Dražovice originated on a medieval trade route that led from Vienna to Poland. The place name is derived from a person named Dražej . The first documentary mention of the village took place in the deed of transfer of ownership of the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik from the year 1131 over all goods belonging to the church of St. Peter to the newly built Wenceslas Cathedral . In it, the goods belonging to the Pustimir Gau Nemojany , Podivice and Rostěnice as well as possessions in Vyškov , Dražovice, Hlubočany , Želeč , Křižanovice and the desert village of Melice near Pustimir were named. Later the Diocese of Olomouc placed the place under the administration of Meilitz Castle. Since ancient times Dražovice has been in the border area of the diocese with different rulers, until 1946 a large number of boundary stones with the miter were preserved in the vicinity of the village . After Podbřežice passed into the ownership of the Olomouc Chapter in 1755, another rule boundary was created. In the years 1767 and 1825 the borderline to the secular rulers was revised, but this did not happen on the border between the diocese and the chapter.
After the abolition of patrimonial Dražovice formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Wischau . The Dražovice Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded in 1897 and the Sokol gymnastics club was founded in 1919 . In the 20th century the townscape changed significantly. Dražovice was previously surrounded by large areas of meadows that were becoming increasingly smaller. In 1946 the teacher Krejčíř stated that the parish corridors consisted of 420 hectares of fields, 43 hectares of forests and only 18 meadows. This trend continued with further conversion of pastureland into arable land and the upper reaches of the Dražovický potok including its source were canalized. The pond in the village square was drained and several fountains and the Na rybníkách development area were created in its place . Between 1949 and 1959 the village was assigned to the Okres Bučovice and came back to the Okres Vyškov after its abolition. Today there is a primary school and a kindergarten in Dražovice.
