history

Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area. According to ancient traditions, Hodějice is said to have been founded in the 10th century. The first written mention of the village took place in 1455 in the Brno country table , when Jan von Waldstein and his wife Katharina von Konitz assigned the income from the village as a dowry to Adlička von Cimburg . Since the 16th century the goods belonged to the Counts of Kaunitz. In 1544 the brothers Wenzel and Seimon von Kaunitz left Hodějice to the brothers Johann and Wenzel von Kaunitz. At the beginning of the 17th century the village consisted of 77 properties. In 1612 the Counts Kaunitz built a stately oil mill in Hodějice, which later went out again. During the Thirty Years' War the village became deserted and in 1656 44 Hodějice farms were deserted. In 1750 Jan Kučera, a three-quarter hunter, started up an oil mill again.

After the abolition of patrimonial Hodějice formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Wischau . In 1892 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. Between 1949 and 1959 the community belonged to the Okres Slavkov and after its abolition came back to the Okres Vyškov . Between 1957 and 1964 an open-air swimming pool was built on the southern outskirts of Heršpický potok. This was renovated in 1985. In 2001 another renovation was started. The project, completed in 2003, cost the municipality three and a half million crowns, the original contractor Novapol Group Brno went bankrupt during the construction. The Hodějice municipality has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2003.
