history

The first written mention of the village belonging to the possessions of the Rosa Coeli monastery was made in 1337 in connection with the miller Jescek de Cuperwicz . Later the place was called Kuparowicz (1362) and Kupurowicz (1420). There was a water festival in the place. This became extinct during the Bohemian-Hungarian War and the village fell into desolation. In 1536, Kuprowitz was repopulated by the Kanitz monastery. The “ui” dialect (Bavarian-Austrian) with its special Bavarian passwords , which was spoken until the fateful year 1945, indicates that the new settlers came from Austria and southern Germany. After the Battle of White Mountain , the Kanitz rulership belonging to Georg Ernreich von Roggendorf was confiscated and sold to Cardinal Franz Seraph von Dietrichstein in 1622 for 111,486 thalers .

Registries have been kept since 1634. Online search via the Brno State Archives.

During the invasion of the Swedes in 1645, Lennart Torstensson commanded his troops in a skirmish with the imperial from the Kuprowitz bell tower. In the 17th century the place was called Kuprewiz or Kuperwitz . In 1750 Karl Maximilian von Dietrichstein built a pleasure and hunting palace including a stud.

In 1808 the community set up a wine cellar. The pastor and the parishioners then receive part of their wages in wine. After the abolition of patrimonial Kuprowitz / Kopařovice formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Auspitz . After the Princes Dietrichstein died out in 1862, the Counts of Herberstein inherited the castle and the associated goods. From 1879 to 1880 an elementary school is built, which was one class. Until then, the local children in Prahlitz had started school. In 1910 a volunteer fire brigade was founded in the village. From the same year, Kuprowitz belonged to the Nikolsburg district . The balanced warm climate makes the area fertile garden land for fruit and vegetables. In addition to growing various types of grain, the Kupowitzers also raised cattle and poultry. In addition to agriculture, there was the usual small business.

After the First World War and the Peace Treaty of Saint Germain in 1919, the place, whose residents in 1910 belonged exclusively to the German language group, became part of the new Czechoslovak Republic . In the interwar period , there was an increase in the influx of people with Czech identity due to the appointment of new officials and new settlers. In 1919 the Herbersteiners were expropriated. In 1928 a telephone booth was installed in the Geyer inn. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, the place came to the German Reich and came as part of the Nikolsburg district to the Reichsgau Niederdonau .

After the end of the Second World War (May 8, 1945) - which claimed 10 victims - the territories transferred to Germany in the Munich Agreement were reassigned to Czechoslovakia . After the end of the war, the village was taken over by non-resident militant Czechs, resulting in severe abuse and three civilian deaths among the German population. The Beneš Decree 115/46 (Law on Exemption from Punishments) protected against legal processing of the event. Thirteen families were wildly across the border to Austria sold . The wild and collective expulsions of the German population that began elsewhere were decidedly not mentioned by the four main allies in the Potsdam resolutions . Despite initial resistance, Article XIII of the Potsdam Declaration on the “orderly and humane transfer” of the “parts of the German population” who “remained in Czechoslovakia” was finally adopted. Between April 20 and October 3, 1946, the local German population was forcibly evacuated to West Germany. 56, the Czechs who immigrated after the First World War stayed in the village. According to the Beneš Decree 108, the property of the German population was confiscated without compensation .

One of the displaced local residents emigrated to Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore and the USA.

Between 1948 and 1960, Kuprowitz belonged to the Okres Židlochovice. After its abolition, Kupařovice was added to the Okres Brno-venkov. In 1979 it was incorporated into Pravlov ( Prahlitz ). The community has existed again since 1989.

The community's attention was drawn to the blood-red painted concrete monument Hammer and Sickle on the III / 395 road. It was built by JZD Pojihlaví in the 1970s . The memorial standing on private property has become a public issue. At the beginning of the 1990s, the residents of Kupařovice decided with a clear majority to preserve the communist relic. Kupařovice is also seen as a communist bastion in South Moravia, and Mayor Milan Hamala ( KSČM ) received over 90 percent of the vote in 2006.

Coat of arms and seal

The oldest seal of the place came from the year 1644. It showed a plow iron, separated by two flower stalks, within the inscription "SIGILL VM DORF KVPREWIC 1644". A second seal from 1750 showed the same seal image with the inscription "GEMEIND KVPREWITZ" and was used until the second half of the 19th century. A third seal from 1864 only showed a plow with the inscription "GEMEINDE KUPROWITZ - 1864".
