history

The first written mention of the village took place in 1131 in a property register of the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik under the property of the Archdeaconate Přerov. The place is much older, however, and was built on a trade route from Veligrad via Přerov to Olomouc , which was laid out during the times of the Great Moravian Empire and which led through the Stvola swamps here, secured with willow rods. The bundles of rods used to secure the path were called moštin . The village was divided into two parts throughout its history. One of these belonged to the Stvolabach ( Štolbach ) fortress, which has been demonstrable since 1389 together with the village of the same name . In the first half of the 16th century, the owners included the brothers Adam and Jiří Štolbašský from Doloplazy and the Podstatzky from Prusinowitz . After Adam Štolbašský was murdered by Vítek von Dobrčice in 1527 , his share fell to his brother-in-law Jan Komický von Schwabenitz . Adam's daughter Ludmilla received her father's share from Moschtienitz as a dowry when she married Joachim Zoubek von Zdětín. Joachim Zoubek then also acquired the Podstatzky share and united both parts. In 1551 Moschtienicz was called a town. In 1643 Lennart Torstensson's army pitched its main camp on the Zahonny mountain northeast of the village. Because of the entrenchment work carried out, the mountain was popularly known as the Schwedenschanze. The oldest local seal dates from 1656; it shows the arrow from the coat of arms of the Lords of Schwabenitz and bears the inscription SCOMVNITATIS DE MOSSTENICZ . In later seals, the Swabian arrow was replaced by the local patroness Maria and finally by a lily as her symbol.

After the abolition of patrimonial Moštěnice / Moschtienitz formed a municipality in the Kremsier district administration from 1850 . The village has been called Horní Moštěnice since 1880 and belongs to the Prerau district . On the night of June 18-19, 1945 , a post-war crime, known as the massacre of the Švédské šance , occurred on the Švédské šance , in which a command of the 17th foot regiment under Lieutenant Karol Pazúr after a victory ceremony at the Přerov marshalling yard near Lověšice A train of returnees to Slovakia attacked and drove the mostly women and children travelers out of the city. 120 women, 74 children and 71 men were shot on the Švédské šance and the residents of Lověšice were obliged to bury the bodies in a mass grave.

The municipality has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2005, designed by the heraldist Jiří Louda. In 2009 the parishes of Horní Moštěnice, Beňov and Stará Ves were merged into one parish based in Horní Moštěnice. Ethnographically the village belongs to Hanna . The largest company in town is Hanácká kyselka spol. s ro , which fills the water from the well of the same name and the Moštěnka well . The most important festival is the Four Queens meetings ( Bitva čtyř králů ) dating back to an event on Whit Monday 1819 and is jointly celebrated by the people of Lověšice, Horní Moštěnice, Bochoř and Sírava.
