history
According to ancient traditions, Jaroměřice is said to have been founded in 1131. Jermiric has been documented for the first time in writing since 1325, when Johann von Luxemburg transferred the patronage of the church to the Sedlec monastery . At that time, the owner of the village of Jermiric was Raimund von Lichtenburg auf Bítov . There has also been evidence of a festival in Jermiric since the 14th century. At the beginning of the 15th century, Jermiric obtained market rights. In 1498 Wladislaw Jagiello enfeoffed Wenzel von Ludanitz with Jermiric. In 1522 Johann von Pernstein bought the rule. In 1554 the Bohemian Brethren parish was established. The following owners were from 1534 the Meziříčský from Lomnice and from 1613 Georg von Rechenberg on Želetice. His goods were confiscated after the Battle of White Mountain and sold to Gerhard von Questenberg in 1623 . He was followed from 1661 by Johann Anton von Questenberg and from 1686 by Johann Adam von Questenberg . He had Jarmeritz redesigned in baroque style. Jarmeritz was raised to the status of town under the Barons of Questenberg. Jarmeritz was a cultural center, including a palace orchestra. In 1752 the lords of Kaunitz acquired the rule. They were the landlords until the middle of the 19th century and owned the castle until 1897.
After the abolition of patrimonial Jaroměřice formed from 1850 a political municipality and the seat of a judicial district in the Znojmo district . At that time the market had 2332 inhabitants. In 1871 the railway line was put into operation near Popowitz. After a long dispute over inheritance, the castle passed to Rudolf Christen von Würben and Freudenthal in 1897, and from 1927 he owned it jointly with his wife Elvira von Bayern. In 1899 a new school was inaugurated. In 1900 there were 2781 people in Jarmeritz. Since 1924 the city has been called Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou . After the German occupation , the large estates were confiscated and in 1943 a state railway school was set up on the Jarmeritz estate. On May 8, 1945, the Red Army occupied the place. After the crackdown on the Prague Spring , Bulgarian troops advanced on August 26, 1968 via Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou to Moravské Budějovice . The city has had a coat of arms since 2000.
