history
Kotvrdovice was founded in the second half of the 13th century during the colonization of the area by the Lords of Hohlenstein . The first written mention of the village Gottfriedschlag , which belonged to the Jedovnice lordship , took place in 1349. Over time, numerous noble families took turns as owners of the lordship. In 1743 Anton Josef Altgraf von Salm-Reifferscheidt acquired the rule by marriage. After he bought the Raitz estate in 1763 , he joined Jedovnice to Raitz. In 1811 Hugo Franz Altgraf zu Salm-Reifferscheidt took over the management of the family estates.
After the abolition of patrimonial Kotvrdovice / Kordowitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district authority of Boskowitz . During the German occupation between 1939 and 1945, the community again bore the original name of Gottfriedschlag . In 1948 Kotvrdovice was assigned to the Okres Blansko . There have been contacts with the Bavarian community of Aschheim since 1994 , which were established in a community partnership in 1999. Kotvrdovice has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2004.
To the north of the village is the Kotvrdovice sports airfield (LKKOTV), which is approved for microlight aircraft.
