history
Kořenec was probably founded between 1242 and 1250 as a charcoal burner and woodcutter settlement, some historians assume that the place was founded at the end of the 12th century. In the course of time, glassworks and smelters were also built in the area. The first written mention of the village took place in a certificate issued on July 23, 1490 in Budín Wladislaw Jagiellos for the abbot Jan of the monastery Hradisko to pledge the provost of Knínice to Jindřich von Jezera and Vítek von Ptení. In 1499 Ladislav von Boskowitz received the Knínice goods with the towns of Knínice and Svitávka and the villages of Světlá , Cetkovice , Šebetov , Uhřice , Kořenec, Úsobrno and Okrouhlá as pledge. Later the rule came back to the Hradisch Monastery. In the course of the 16th century, Šebetov was expanded to become a new mansion and the order had a large castle built there as a residence. In 1675 the village consisted of 20 houses, in 1778 there were already 66. After the abolition of the monastery in the course of the Josephine reforms, its goods fell to the religious fund in 1784. In 1825 Karl Graf Strachwitz bought the Šebetov estate. His son Moritz Graf Strachwitz inherited the property in 1837. The first village school was built in 1833 as a clapboard chalup.
After the abolition of patrimonial Kořenec formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Boskovice . Between 1860 and 1865 the Karl Octavius estates belonged to Lippe-Weißenfeld . In 1865 the Counts of Strachwitz briefly became the owners of the Šebetov estates again. In the course of foreclosure in the same year, the Viennese factory owner Johann May bought the property, which he sold to Moritz von Königswarter in 1877 . A new schoolhouse was built between 1878 and 1879. In 1880, 814 people lived in the community's 120 houses. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1884. In 1930 the village had 718 inhabitants and consisted of 136 houses. At the beginning of 1961 Kořenec was assigned to the Okres Blansko . In 1980 Kořenec had 409 inhabitants. The golf course on Paprč was laid out in 1998. Kořenec has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2002.
