history
Opatov was created during the colonization activities of the Seelau monastery and was created by German settlers. The first written mention of the village belonging to the estates of the Seelau monastery took place in 1303 in a document from Abbot Thilman about the repopulation of Simmersdorf , in which the judge Thomossius de Hopathau appeared as a witness. In the Middle Ages, silver mining was carried out northeast of the town.
In 1436 , King Sigismund handed over the Seelau monastery property, orphaned during the Hussite Wars , to the protection and administration of Nikolaus Trčka von Lípas with the consent of the abbot who had fled to Iglau . After Georg von Podiebrad had assigned the monastery property to the Trčka von Lípa in 1458 in the land tablet, Burian Trčka von Lípa established the Jenikau dominion . In 1601 the Trčka Jenikau sold the Jihlava citizen Matthias Stubegg Knight of Königstein ( Matyáš Štubik z Kynigštejna ). When the inheritance was divided between his sons, Samuel Stubegg received the Jenikau share in 1606 with the town of Windig Jenikau and the villages of Winau , Opatau, Dudin , Maršov, Duschau , Jankau , Kalhau , Prusdorf and Chyška . After Stubegg's death, the rule fell to Magdalena Trčka von Lobkowicz in 1619 . During the Thirty Years' War the area became impoverished and subsequently foreign aristocrats quickly took turns as owners and pushed through the re-Catholicization of the population. The parish and school location was Böhmisch Gießhübel . According to the Josephine tolerance patent of 1781, more than half of the population professed Protestantism. The Protestants were initially parish to Moraveč and belonged to the Filialgemeinde Strměchy.
Until 1848 Opatov remained subject to the Jenikau rule, whose owners were the Counts of Rummerskirch from 1838 onwards. After the abolition of patrimonial Opatov formed from 1850 a municipality in the district of Deutschbrod and judicial district of Humpolec. In 1863 the Protestants from Opatov, Jankov, Dušejov, Zbilidy, Dudín, Ústí, Nový Rychnov , Vyskytná, Hojkov and Milíčov united to form a Protestant parish. The following year construction began on the church in Opatov. Between 1855 and 1868 the municipality was subordinate to the Humpolec district administration, which was then repealed. In 1910 Opatov was assigned to the new Humpolec District. In 1931 there were 401 people in Opatov, of whom 215 were Protestants. In 1949 the village became part of the newly created Jihlavský kraj. In 1961 Opatov came to Okres Jihlava in Jihomoravský kraj.
