history

Archaeological finds show an early settlement of the municipality. During the Neolithic Age there was a settlement of the painted ceramic culture here . Other finds come from the Bronze and Iron Ages . In 1975, a historical burial ground with 179 graves was discovered southeast of the village on a spur above the valleys of the Nechvalínský potok and Soudný potok. The oldest six can be assigned to the La Tène period . Most of the finds come from Slavic cultures, it is believed that there was a Great Moravian base on the spur .

The village was first mentioned in writing in 1131 as a sovereign property. In the middle of the 13th century, half of the village Smil von Zbraslav and Střílky belonged to , who left him around 1261, together with his shares in Přestavlky and Zvíkov, to the Cistercian monastery Smilheim he founded .

The first known owner of the other half of Lovčice, Přestavlky and Zvíkov or Tikov was Bruno von Dražovice before 1341. With his death in 1341 his property fell back to the Moravian Margrave Karl . Karl donated most of it to the Pustiměř Benedictine monastery ; He left a small share of Lovčice to his nephew Jobst . Both monasteries do not manage their shares in Lovčice themselves, but passed them on to changing tenants. There is evidence of a parish in Lovčice since 1371. In 1397 Margrave Jobst gave his share to Zdenko von Sternberg . The settlement of Tikov, located in the upper part of today's village, became extinct in the first half of the 15th century, and Přestavlky fell desolate during the Bohemian-Hungarian War. Their corridors merged with Lovčice. In 1548 Jan Ždánický von Zástřizl acquired both monastic shares and slammed them to his rule Ždánice . The subsequent owners were the Lords of Kaunitz . At the end of the 16th century there was an oil press in Lovčice. After the Battle of the White Mountain , the goods of the Counts of Kaunitz were confiscated and sold to the Liechtensteiners in 1622 . After the parish died out, the village was parish off to Ždánice in 1626. In 1717, the Ždánice priest Wenzel Zimper donated a locality in Lovčice, which also included Ostrovánky , Věteřov and Nechvalín . The inhabitants of Lovčice lived from agriculture, viticulture and charcoal making, as well as home weaving. In the middle of the 18th century, the vineyards reached their greatest extent with almost 57 hectares. A school was established at the end of the 18th century. In 1836 they moved into a new schoolhouse on the site of the former cemetery. In 1834 937 people lived in the 160 houses in the village. Until the middle of the 19th century, Lovčice was always subject to the Ždánice rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Velké Lovčice / Groß Lowtschitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Gaya . At the end of the 19th century, viticulture was paralyzed and part of the vineyards was converted into orchards, fields and pastureland. The stately watermill was located above the village and there were also two windmills. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1896 . The fire engine bought in the same year for 1400 guilders is still preserved; it was used regularly until 1940. In 1900 a new, larger school building was inaugurated, which is still used today as a kindergarten, elementary school and post office. The village has been called Lovčice since 1921 . After the Okres Kyjov was abolished, the place was assigned to the Okres Hodonín in 1960. In the Žleby valley , flood protection was created in 2006 to prevent the Soudný potok from breaking through its former river bed to the Syslůvka dry polder.
