history
The first written mention of the village belonging to the Wildenberg rule was made in 1371 when Půta von Wildenberg sold the rule to Margrave Johann Heinrich . Hostěnice, as well as Lhota to the north, belonged to the villages of the dominion that became extinct in the 15th and 16th centuries. While Lhota remained desolate, the Hostěnický potok valley was repopulated in 1580 by a family of ten. In the course of time, forest areas were cleared to gain arable land. Because of the stony soil, agriculture was not very productive, so the residents of Hostěnice earned extra income by making brooms from birch veins. The manufacture of stone ware made of marble and the processing of limestone into quicklime were added later. In 1746, the Pozořice lordship had the Nový Dvůr farm on the Lhota desert. This was later called Lhotky and a hunter's house and a hunter's house were built around the courtyard. In 1842 accommodation for forest workers was added. Lhotky belonged to Březina at that time .
After the abolition of patrimonial Hostěnice formed from 1850 a political municipality in the district administration Wischau . In 1885 Lhotky was reassigned to Hostěnice. In 1898 a school building was built in the community. Between 1950 and 1960 Hostěnice was assigned to the Okres Slavkov and after its abolition the municipality became part of the Okres Brno-venkov . In 1953 the municipal office was built.
