history
Archaeological finds in the municipality show that the area has been settled since the Stone Age . The finds of bone graves and remains of a Celtic settlement on the site of today's village are more important.
The first written mention of the village took place in 1350 as the property of Vladike von Meilitz. The Teutonic Knight Order acquired Nížkovice around 1380 and struck the village of Austerlitz under his rule . After lengthy disputes with the Bohemian Crown, Wenceslaus IV took advantage of the weakness of the order after the Battle of Tannenberg , confiscated its property and expelled the order from the country in 1411. In 1422 the rule of Austerlitz was assigned to King Sigismund in the country table . In 1507 the Counts Kaunitz bought the goods. The property was entered in the land register in 1531. At the beginning of the 17th century, 62 subjects lived in Nížkovice. The oldest local seal dates from 1593. During the Thirty Years' War Nížkovice became deserted. In 1656 only 21 of the 64 houses in the village were inhabited. The Lords of Kaunitz promoted the repopulation of the largely desolate village by granting privileges. In 1734 a one-class village school was established. The most important owners were the Austrian house, court and state chancellor Wenzel Anton Kaunitz from 1746 to 1794 and the founder of the Brno Kaunitz college, Wenzel Robert von Kaunitz, from 1897 to 1913 . In 1812 the old schoolhouse was demolished and replaced by a larger one. Until the middle of the 19th century, Nížkovice always remained subordinate to Austerlitz. The inhabitants lived from agriculture or work in the stately forests of the Steinitz Forest.
After the abolition of patrimonial Nížkovice / Nischkowitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Wischau . In the following time, some of the residents earned their living in the Austerlitz sugar factory. In addition, carpentry shops and other small craft businesses were established in the village. In 1907, two-class classes began in Nížkovice. In 1913, after the death of Wenzel Robert von Kaunitz, his brother Eugen inherited the property. He died in 1919 and after more than 400 years of ownership by the Kaunitzer family, they passed to the Slovak family Pálffy . In 1948 the Pálffy family was expropriated and their property was nationalized. Between 1949 and 1960 the community belonged to the Okres Slavkov and after its abolition came back to the Okres Vyškov . In 1964 Nížkovice was merged with Heršpice to form the municipality of Nížkovice-Heršpice . This dissolved again in 1990. Since 2001 the municipality of Nížkovice has had a coat of arms and a banner.
