history
Moravice was first mentioned in 1283 and was the ancestral seat of the Vladiken family Morawitzky. After Budivoj von Morawitz bought the Vikštejn castle in 1461, the family of Morawitz and Wiegstein called themselves . After Budivoj von Morawitz refused to recognize Georg von Podiebrad as the new king, he fell out of favor and was sentenced to the loss of his neck and rule. In 1464 Morawitz and Wiegstein fled to Poland. Then his goods were divided up. In 1493 Jan Dlouhý von Roudnice bought Moravice together with the villages of Krahulí and Hidová, he then put on the title Morawitzky von Raudnitz . At the end of the 15th century Jan Pivec von Hratschein and Klimstein von Wiktoria von Opawa got the village of Moravice, which he later assigned to his sister Edena. In 1560 Moravice came to the Counts of Würben , after the battle of the White Mountain the confiscated goods were sold to the ruling Prince of Liechtenstein.
In 1922 the community was electrified under the influence of Count Razumovsky from Meltsch . In 1924 a war memorial for those who fell in the First World War was erected and inaugurated. On May 5, 1945 Morawitz was captured by the Red Army . Between November 1945 and July 1946, almost all of the town's German residents were evacuated to Bavaria on trains. In 1979 Moravice was incorporated into Melč, and the municipality has existed again since 1990.
