history
The first settlement took place on a rocky promontory above the Rokytka river , along the Haberner Steig, a trade route that connected Moravia with Bohemia and is still today the national road I / 38, the most important link between Prague and Vienna .
According to the first written mention of the city in 1231 , Pope Gregory IX. the Constance of Hungary , widow of Přemysl Otakar I , under his protection; included were the lands around Budwicz . The Lords of Lichtenburg later acquired the property. After that, the city received privileges from King Vladislav II . Some time later the powerful race died out.
The noble Waldstein family with their branch Pirnitz became new masters . Under their rule, the city achieved its greatest boom. Craftsmen settled down and one of the best schools in Moravia was established in Budějovice. There was religious freedom. After the Battle of White Mountain , Zdeněk Brtnický von Waldstein was sentenced to life imprisonment as an active participant. The lords of Schaumburg received the place, weakened by their own army and siege by the emperor's armies . These did not respect the old city rights and forced the residents to do labor .
A major fire in 1673 and the Thirty Years' War it came to the depopulation of the city. Maria Anna von Schauenburg, the only daughter of Leopold von Schauenburg, had to sell the town as it could only be passed on to male descendants. The Barons Wallis von Carighmain , namely Wenzel von Wallis (1696–1774), took over in 1736 an impoverished, destroyed city with a demotivated population. Most of them stayed outside the city; in the city she was only interested in the profit that could be made. During their reign the Napoleonic Wars fell and the city became a base for the French due to its strategically important location.
In 1821 there was finally an uprising, which was suppressed militarily. In the middle of the 19th century, Mährisch Budwitz became a free city and in 1850 a district town with tax law and a district court. During the Second World War , the city became a transit camp for refugees before it was captured by the Red Army .
