history

The first written mention of Nynkovice was made in 1341 in the Moravian land table. The name of the place is derived from a person named Nynek . In 1368 Ninkowitz belonged to Frank von Kunowitz, who exchanged it together with Dražůvky and Schönhof with the brothers Stephan and Witek von Ungersberg for half of Kunovice and Langdorf. A little later Witek von Ungersberg exchanged the villages with Přech von Uhřice for Uhřice . His brother Jan von Uhřice left Ninkowitz and the Schönhof farm in 1371 to a country nobleman named Pokoj, who then acquired the title of Ninkowitz . In 1437 Čeněk von Bludov and Butschowitz sold the Ninkowitz estate with the Schönhof farm and two ponds in Bohutitz to Johann Kuschel von Zerawitz. The following owners were the Bystřice from Ojnice. In 1513, Tas von Oynitz on Bučovice and Steinitz sold the Ninkowitz estate with the desert Schönhof to Proček von Zástřizl , who attached it to the Steinitz estate . Later the Lords of Kaunitz followed, who held Steinitz until the Thirty Years' War and then were expropriated because of their participation in the class uprising . The new owners became the Liechtensteiners , who owned the goods until the Czechoslovak land reform in 1919. In the Thirty Years War the village became deserted. In 1721 Nenkovice was settled again. The inhabitants of the village, surrounded by fertile hills, have always lived from agriculture and viticulture. Nenkovice is the only village in the Kyjov region where social tensions arose between the possessed and the dogs after the latter felt disadvantaged. In 1790 Nenkovice consisted of 87 houses and had 470 inhabitants. Until the middle of the 19th century, Nenkovice always remained submissive to Steinitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Nenkovice / Nenkowitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Gaya and the judicial district Steinitz . In 1864 a windmill was built northeast of the village on the Na klínkách square on the land border with Stavěšice and Želetice. To the west of Nenkovice, at the Na Padělkách hill , there was another windmill. The latter was destroyed by a windpipe in 1890 and rebuilt shortly afterwards. In 1877 a school house was inaugurated in Nenkovice. After 30 houses in the village had been destroyed in a large fire, the community well was built in 1899 as a water reservoir with a capacity of 12 cubic meters. In 1901 the road from Želetice via Nenkovice to Stavěšice was built, and in 1908 it was continued to Kyjov. After the schoolhouse proved too small, it was extended in 1911. The Na Padělkách windmill burned down in 1923. In 1928 the street in Příhon was built. At the end of the Second World War, fierce fighting between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army took place near Nenkovice . After the last miller, Zikmund Čevela, died in 1945, the windmill at Na klínkách , which was slightly damaged in the war, went to pieces and was removed in 1948. In 1954 a large building for the primary school and auxiliary school was built. The previous school became the seat of the local government. After the Okres Kyjov was abolished, the place was assigned to the Okres Hodonín in 1960. In 1972 a culture house was built. The branch of the brick works in Hodonín was closed in 1980. In the same year Nenkovice was incorporated into Želetice. The municipality of Nenkovice has existed again since 1989. The village has always been parish after Želetice.
