history

The place on the border between Bohemia and Moravia probably goes back to a foundation by Gerhard von Zbraslav and Obřany († 1291). His father Boček von Jaroslavice and Zbraslav († 1255) had donated the Cistercian monastery Saar on the Libitzer Steig in 1252 . The founding date of Moravian Heraletz is assumed to be 1279. In 1312, with Gerhard's son Smil, the family of the Lords of Zbraslav and Obřany , a branch of the family of the Lords of Kunstadt in the male line, and the goods fell to Heinrich von Lipá . The place was first mentioned in writing in 1358 in the course of a border dispute between the monastery and the Neustadtl lordship under the name Herhartz ( Herharts ). It is assumed that the place name is of German origin and goes back to a person named Herhart or Gerhart . In 1496 Wilhelm II of Pernstein acquired the Moravian share. The border town was described by Bohuslav Balbín in his Miscellanea historica regni Bohemiae .
