history

The first written mention of the place belonging to the Doubravice Castle took place in 1378. The owners of the village at that time were the Osovský family of Doubravice . In 1391 Ježko von Kunstadt bought the castle and all its accessories, and it was also called Kuničky. Subsequently, the owners of the estate changed several times. After the castle fell, in 1528 Jan Lhotský of Ptení bought the Doubravice , Kuničky and Němčice estates . A year later, Bohuslav von Drnovice auf Raitz acquired the goods and slammed them to Rájec. After Jan Drnovský's death in 1667 the property fell to the Roggendorf family . In 1763 Anton Josef Altgraf von Salm-Reifferscheidt acquired the rule. In 1793 the village had 127 inhabitants. Under the old count Salm-Reifferscheidt-Raitz there was an economic upswing of the Raitz and Blansko domains . In Kuničky, charcoal was produced for the needs of the manorial ironworks and some of the residents earned their living in the ironworks.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kůničky or Kouničky formed from 1850 a municipality in the district authority Boskovice . In 1873 the iron industry began to decline. The elementary school in Kuničky was inaugurated in 1886. In 1900 344 people lived in the 53 houses of the village. On February 11, 1929 the temperature in Kuničky was -42 ° C. In 1938 the village consisted of 79 houses. In the same year the school building was extended by a second floor. At the beginning of 1961 Kuničky was assigned to the Okres Blansko . In 1964 Kuničky had 358 inhabitants, in 1980 there were 320. After school lessons in Kuničky had been stopped in 1979 due to insufficient number of students, the school was reopened after the political change in autumn 1990 on the initiative of residents. The lack of equipment and the need for renovation as well as the decline in the number of pupils to nine in 1994/95 led to the school being closed. On May 26, 2003, after heavy rain, the Holešínka brook burst its banks and flooded 3 houses and 80 cellars. The village has always been parish after Doubravice nad Svitavou .
