history
According to the local history, Moravské Prusy has had a manor house since 1052. In other unconfirmed sources, a lower noble family Martin von Prusy is named as the owner of the goods for 1131 and 1269 . The first reliable mention of the village took place in the country table in 1349 , when Nedvídek von Voděrady was named as the owner of part of the lands in Prusiech with the farm and the mill. The name of the village, which used to be surrounded by larger ponds, does not derive from Prussian settlers, but from a flood of cattle , as is the case with all Moravian villages with the names Prusy and Prusinovice and the Bohemian Koněprusy . From 1368, the largest share was owned by the brothers Jakub Konček, Janek, Ctibor and Janáč von Prusy. According to Gregor Wolny's Ecclesiastical Topography of Moravia , Myslibor of Radovestice, who had held a small part of the property since 1384, together with Jakub Konček's son-in-law Vojtěch von Meilitz as the owner of the other portion, founded a fund in 1391, from which the new, St. Georg the main altar of the church was built. At the same time the pastor Radolt, a brother of Myslibor from Radovestice, was mentioned. Since the beginning of the 15th century, the owners of most of the goods were the Vladiken von Meilitz. Under the Lords of Maynusch, the place was first referred to as Prusy M in 1465 . The stone fortress was first mentioned in 1491 as the property of the Znata von Meilitz and Prusy. Between 1510 and 1516 Wilhelm II von Pernstein owned the goods. Since the fortress was no longer listed in the list of goods from 1548, it was possibly already lost during the Pernstein era , as if it were listed in 1591 as desolate. In 1631 Leo Wilhelm von Kaunitz acquired both villages and added them to his rule in Austerlitz . The church and rectory burned down in 1700. In the same year, the pastor Martinus Sobek had the new St. George's bell cast from the three melted bells. In 1733 the new church was consecrated. Between November 23 and December 11, 1831, 32 people died in Moravské Prusy during a cholera epidemic . These were buried together with the cholera victims from Boškůvky and Vážany in the Lesíček field behind the school in communal graves. Later the parish's new cemetery was built on the site of the cholera cemetery. In 1874 a large fire left parts of the village in rubble and ashes. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village always remained subservient to Austerlitz. Moravské Prusy was the parish and school location for Boškůvky, Vážany and Zouvalka.
After the abolition of patrimonial Moravské Prusy formed from 1850 with the district Tlustomacek or Zouvalka a municipality in the district administration Wischau . In 1891 the volunteer fire brigade was formed . In 1893 a total of 540 people lived in the 90 houses in Moravské Prusy and seven houses in Zouvalka. They were all Czech-speaking Catholics. In 1960 Zouvalka was reassigned to Vyškov . In 1964 it merged with Boškůvky to form the Prusy-Boškůvky community . In 1991 there were 522 inhabitants in Moravské Prusy. In the 2001 census, Moravské Prusy's 201 houses were home to 532 people. All municipal infrastructure facilities such as the municipal office, post office, church, elementary school, kindergarten, shop, sports field and playground are located in the Moravské Prusy district.
