The village was probably founded by German colonists at the beginning of the 13th century. Kučerov was first mentioned in a document in 1235, when the noblemen Vojslav, Drslav and Čáslav transferred the patronage of the Church of St. Peter and Paul to Stephan von Mödlau for the Augustinian monastery in Doubravník , which he founded. The Znojmo burgrave Boček von Berneck bequeathed the village in a will in 1255 to the Cistercian monastery of Fons Beatae Mariae Virginis near Saar, which he founded . South of the village, on the old road to Butschowitz , there was a farm where the von Kutscherau family, documented in the 14th and 15th centuries, probably lived. At the end of the 15th century, King Wladislaw Jagiello pledged Kutscherau together with Grusbach as a conditional addition to the Spielberg Castle to Johann von Lomnitz. There is evidence of a parish school since 1608. In 1616, Cardinal Franz Xaver von Dietrichstein acquired the goods of the Saar monastery. In 1638, his brother and heir Maximilian von Dietrichstein, together with the Neustadtl estate, also sold the Kutscherau and Rohrbach estates to the owner of the Groß Niemtschitz estate , Simon Kratzer von Schönsberg. Kratzer sold Kutscherau including the desert village of Dörfel in 1640 to the rector of the Olomouc Jesuit college , Georg Schönberger. The entry about the sale was made in the land table in 1661. The order attached the goods to its allodial rule Bochdalitz . On August 8, 1654 and September 22, 1655, two large fires set the entire village to rubble and ashes. In 1660 the Jesuits dammed the Rosternitzer Bach into a fish pond below Kutscherau. In 1718 there was a tavern, mill and distillery in Kutscherau. After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, Bochdalitz and Kutscherau became part of the kk study fund. He sold the goods on March 31, 1783 for 111,000 Rhenish guilders to Raimund Edler von Manner. In 1825 a new school building was inaugurated. In 1834 659 people lived in the 111 houses of the village. Until the middle of the 19th century, Kutscherau always remained submissive to Bochdalitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kutscherau / Kučerov formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Wischau . Since the second half of the 19th century, there has been an increased influx of Czechs into the remaining eight places on the language island. In 1888 a post office was set up in Kutscherau. In 1910 Kutscherau had 706 inhabitants. In the same year a brick factory was founded. In 1930 Kutscherau consisted of 188 houses and had 833 inhabitants, 728 of whom were Germans and 105 Czechs. By the end of the Second World War, Kutscherau together with Hobitschau , Tereschau , Rosternitz , Swonowitz , Lissowitz , Gundrum and Czechs formed a German language island with a total of 3500 inhabitants within the Czech language area. During the German occupation , the Czech minority was evacuated from the language island villages. The proximity to the language island was also one of the main reasons for the decision made in 1940 to establish the German military training area Wischau in the Drahaner Bergland. Between 1945 and 1946, the German-speaking residents of Kučerov were mainly expelled to Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg and the place was repopulated with Czechs from the 33 villages in the Drahaner Bergland , which had been cleared for the military training area between 1941 and 1945 and whose houses had been destroyed during the exercises . In 1960 the village had 635 inhabitants. In 1976 Hlubočany and Terešov were incorporated. In 1990 both places broke up and formed their own community.
