history

Jaroslavice Town Hall

In Jaroslavice there had been a Gothic border castle since the 13th century , which was replaced by a four-wing Renaissance castle in the 16th century . A legend even says that the castle already existed in 1030. The place was first mentioned in 1249, when Ottokar II handed the place over to the Znojmo burgrave Boček of Jaroslavice and Zbraslav , to whom he also awarded the title of Count of Pernegg in 1252 . After Boček's death in 1255, Joslowitz remained in the possession of his descendants. After Boček's lineage with Smil von Obřany , a son of the Moravian under chamberlain Gerhard von Zbraslav and Obřany , died out in 1312/13, Joslowitz came to Heinrich von Leipa . Joslowitz was the seat of a lordship and was therefore raised to market in 1516. This survey was in 1535 by the Czech king and later Emperor Ferdinand I confirmed. The Thaya moved its course around 1600, after which the bridge was moved to Höflein an der Thaya . In 1606 a school is reported for the first time. During the Thirty Years' War the place was sacked and the church was looted by Swedish troops. The name of the place has been in use since 1633. Not until 1660 is a Catholic priest back in Joslowitz. From 1679/80 the plague raged in the village and in the same year the Joslowitz rule was united with the Frainer. Registries are available from 1729. Online search via the Brno State Archives.

A major fire destroyed most of the village in 1749. Around 1825 a new school building was built, which was expanded to six classes by the 20th century, as the number of children in the village rose rapidly. Cholera raged in the village in 1832 and 1856. During the German-Austrian War in 1866, cholera was brought in again by Prussian soldiers. This time the disease claimed the lives of 73 local residents. In 1870 Joslowitz (more precisely the neighboring town of Possitz , but the double name Possitz-Joslowitz was used) a train station on the Znaim – Lundenburg line . Since two major fires raged in the village in 1872 and 1883 and entire districts had been reduced to rubble, a volunteer fire brigade was founded. At least between 1897 and 1910 (probably longer) there was a district court in Joslowitz . For the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I , a memorial stone was erected in the school garden in 1908 and a memorial oak was planted. In 1913 a power plant was built in the local area. There were a total of three annual markets in Joslowitz: on the first Monday in April, on August 10 and on September 29. The majority of Joslowitz lived from cattle and agriculture, with viticulture, which has been cultivated for centuries in South Moravia, played a special role. In contrast to many places in South Moravia, large-scale viticulture only developed after the phylloxera plague (around 1864). Before that, the amount of wine produced never exceeded own needs. Due to the favorable climate, lentils, peas, potatoes, beets, corn, poppy seeds, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots and cherries were also grown in addition to various types of grain. Hunting in the municipality was also profitable. In addition to the usual small businesses, there was a mill, a grist mill, two cattle dealers and a cement factory.

After the First World War , which claimed 63 victims among the Joslowitzers, the multi-ethnic state of Austria-Hungary fell apart . The place that in 1910 came to 99.6% of German-speaking inhabitants to the newly founded Czechoslovakia . In the interwar period , there was an increase in the number of Czech-speaking residents. In 1920 a Czech minority school was built. Around 1937, 13 concrete bunkers were built for the Czechoslovak Wall in the municipality . During the Sudeten crisis , the pastor and some representatives of the community were arrested. According to the Munich Agreement in 1938, the place belonged to the Reichsgau Niederdonau until 1945 . At that time there were three brick factories, two bus companies and two taxi companies in addition to the normal craft workshops.

In World War II, 186 local residents died. After the end of the war, the Soviets and Czech Revolutionary Guards killed twelve civilians. With the exception of 82 people, all German local residents fled the post-war excesses or were wildly driven across the border into Austria . The remaining German South Moravians were officially forcibly evacuated to Germany via Znaim between July 9 and September 18, 1946 in three expulsion transports . The place was repopulated.

Most of those expelled to Austria were transferred to West Germany. The majority of the Joslowitzer settled in Baden-Württemberg and Hesse.

Coat of arms and seal

The oldest surviving seal dates back to 1535. It shows a two-tower battlement wall in a Renaissance shield with the newly awarded shield below a flag. This label contains the coat of arms of the lords of Kunstadt, who were then the rulers of Joslowitz. This seal was largely used unchanged until the 20th century.

Joslowitz was also given the right to use a coat of arms . It showed the exact same picture as the seal. The crenellated walls were silver on a green lawn and the shield on the wall was blue. The silver towers have red pointed roofs. In the 18th century the colors of the label changed to red-white-red. This came from the Althan family at that time and not, as the Czechs later wrongly suspected, from belonging to Austria. In 1919 they changed the colors of the label to red with slanting silver bars.
