history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1464, when Anna von Michalowicz took her son Johann von Cimburg together for her morning gift in Schönau , Kunewald and Janowitz . In the second half of the 15th century the estate came under the Titschein rule . When Peter von St. Jörgen and Pößing sold the rule to Johann von Kunowitz in 1497, Janowitze was listed as an accessory. Subsequent owners of the rule were from 1500 the lords of Zierotin , after the battle of the White Mountain the barons Hofmann von Grünbüchel, from 1706 the barons Zeno zum Danhaus and from 1772 the imperial counts von Seilern and Aspang .

In 1835 Janowitz consisted of 41 houses in which 258 people lived. The parish was Alt Titschein . Until the middle of the 19th century Janowitz remained subject to the Alt Titschein rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Janovice formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Neutitschein . From 1869 Janovice belonged to the Neutitschein district. At that time the village had 279 inhabitants and consisted of 45 houses. At the end of the 19th century there was a wooden windmill on the Horečky, which was visible from afar. In 1900 there were 270 people in Janovice, in 1910 there were 286. In 1905 Friedrich Deym von Střítež acquired the Starý Jičín manor. In the interwar period there was a quarry in Janovice. In 1930 Janovice consisted of 52 houses and 281 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the purely Moravian-speaking village was initially added to the German Reich in 1938. In the course of further border regulations, the community was spun off from the Neu Titschein district on November 24, 1938 and returned to Czechoslovakia . Until 1945 Janovice was assigned to the newly formed Wallachisch Meseritsch district and came back to Okres Nový Jičín after the end of the war. At the beginning of 1979 Janovice was incorporated into Starý Jičín. In the 2001 census, there were 243 people in the 65 houses in Janovice. As of January 1, 2018, the village had 281 inhabitants and consisted of 83 houses. At the lower end of the town there is a newly built tourist hostel.
