history
The first written mention of Kovalovice took place in 1131 in a deed of the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik . At that time the village consisted of 13 farms, the owner of the surrounding ponds was Lev von Klobouk. Kovalovice was on the old Silesian Steig, a trade route leading from Brno to Wieliczka . In 1210 Kovalovice was listed in the certificate of confirmation by Ottokar I Přemysl about the establishment of the Obrowitz monastery. Subsequently, the owners of the village changed several times. At the end of the 14th century the village was part of the lordship of Wildenberg, which belonged to Margrave Johann Heinrich . Margrave Jobst sold off the villages of the Wildenberg rule between 1385 and 1406. In 1402 Peter von Krawarn on Plumlov received the villages of Šumice , Pozořice , Kovalovice and Sivice as a gift. He was followed by his sons Václav and Jiřík von Krawarn, after which Kovalovice belonged one after another to Zich von Lipina, Jakub von Maršova and Markéta von Kovalovice. Machna von Janov and Kovalovice sold the estate to Václav and Jiřík Syrovátký from Lhota in 1480. Václav Pavlovský von Vidbach acquired Kovalovice from Václav's sons. In the middle of the 16th century, his son Hynek Pavlovský built a fortress in Kovalovice. He sold the estate in 1563 to Albrecht Černohorský von Boskowitz , who attached it to his dominion in Pozořice. There were three blacksmiths in Kovalovice who lived by shodding the horses of the carters passing through. The Bahňák mill also existed at Kovalocký potok . In 1597 the Liechtenstein family acquired the Pozořice estate through marriage. At the beginning of the 17th century the village consisted of 45 houses. Kovalovice was deserted by the Thirty Years' War and only 23 houses are listed in the hoof register. In the 1720s, the new imperial road from Olomouc to Brno was built south of the village and was used by courier mail. A hereditary post office with a toll station and an inn was set up on the street, which conveyed the post to Austerlitz and Butschowitz . The Theresian Cadastre from 1754 shows 70 houses for Kovalovice, eleven of which were without field ownership. In 1805, before the Battle of Austerlitz , Napoleon Bonaparte met with his marshals in the post office for a consultation. After the battle he stayed in the post office. 30 residents died of cholera in 1836 and 13 again in 1849.
After the abolition of patrimonial Kovalovice formed from 1850 a political municipality in the district administration Wischau . A large fire destroyed seven houses in the village in 1852. Another outbreak of cholera claimed 56 victims in 1866. In 1873, a single-class village school opened in Kovalovice, which the Šumice children also attended until 1885 . Anise was grown in the fields of the manor until 1891 . After the dissolution of the Okres Vyškov, Kovalovice was assigned to the Okres Slavkov in 1950. This existed until 1960 and since the beginning of 1961 the community belongs to the Okres Brno-venkov.
