history
Archaeological finds of a burial site from the Bronze Age and remains of a Celtic settlement prove that the area was settled at an early age.
The village was first mentioned in writing in 1497, when Count Peter von St. Georgen-Bösing ( Petr hrabě od Sv. Jura z Pezinku ) gave the rule of Austerlitz to his wife Sophie von Waldstein . The Nemczan court was probably founded by the Teutonic Knights . Since 1509 the village belonged to the Counts of Kaunitz . Reformation Anabaptists settled here in the 16th century . The Anabaptist poet Christoph Hueter , known as Schiffmann, died in Němčany in 1570 . During the Thirty Years War the village became deserted and for a time was completely desolate. At the beginning of the 19th century, a statue of the Virgin Mary and a small chapel were erected at a supposedly miraculous spring at Lottersteg farm. Until the middle of the 19th century Němčany was always subject to Austerlitz and Count Kaunitz.
After the abolition of patrimonial Němčany formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Wischau . During the German War in 1866 the village was looted and cholera was brought in. Around 1900 there was a brick factory , a bath and a mineral water factory in the village . A little later, a water mill started operating.
Between 1949 and 1959 Němčany belonged to the Okres Slavkov and came back to the Okres Vyškov after its abolition .
