history
According to archaeological finds, the area around Moravičany has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. On Velký Bradlec there are 15 burial mounds of the Lusatian culture and on Hradisko there is an old Slavonic castle. The place was populated by Celts and Slavs since the 6th century .
Moravičany was first mentioned in a document in 1249. In 1380 the brothers Johann and Peter von Rosenberg left their property in Moravičany, including the church, to the Litomyšl diocese , which soon gave the property to the Tržek Charterhouse . From 1397 Moravičany belonged to the Dolany Charterhouse , which was extinguished during the Hussite Wars. Her successor was the Olomouc Charterhouse . The village was devastated during the Thirty Years War. In the hoof register of 1677 there are 61 properties for Moravičany, all of which were again managed. The first evidence of a school in Moravičany comes from 1679. After the abolition of the Olomouc Charterhouse in 1782 as part of the Josephine reforms , Moravičany came under the secular rule of Doubravice. In 1786 the Moravičany farm was parceled out and the new settlement Tkanowitz was founded by German settlers. In the following years Tkanowitz was Czechized. In 1834, 606 people lived in Moravicany's 100 houses. At that time there were 16 houses in Tkanowitz that were inhabited by 99 people. In 1845 the railway from Olomouc to Prague was built north of the village .
After the abolition of patrimonial Moravicany / Moravichan and the district Tkanowitz / Tkanovice formed a municipality in the Hohenstadt district . In 1860 the whole village burned down. It was not until 1890 that the Moravičany-Loštice railway station was built , which also served the town of Loštice . In 1918 a wood goods factory was founded. After the Munich Agreement , Moravičany was occupied by the Wehrmacht in October 1938, but the place had to be returned to Czechoslovakia . Moravičany was then removed from the Hohenstadt district and assigned to the Litovel district . The population actively participated in the resistance against the National Socialists . After the end of the Second World War, the community came back to Czechoslovakia and from then on belonged again to the Okres Zábřeh. After its dissolution, the municipality came to Okres Šumperk in 1961 . 1976 Doubravice and Mitrovice were incorporated. In 1997 the municipality was hit by a flood of the March of the century.

Former iron bridge
The 30.6 m long iron bridge over the Třebůvka, which was made in the iron works of the Klein brothers in Zöptau in 1888 , was the oldest iron road bridge in Okres Šumperk . In 1985 the original roadway was replaced by a reinforced concrete ceiling. The poor condition of the structure, especially the no longer secure statics, led to the demolition of the bridge on April 9, 2009 and replacement by a new building.
