history

The oldest written mention of the place took place in 1237 together with Troubsko in a document Wenceslas I , in which Štěpán from Ostopovice signed as a witness. In Ostopovice there was a manor house and an independent farm in the 13th century; probably a festival at this time. In 1318 the Olomouc bishopric bought the property. In 1376 Jan von Ostopovice sold his farm to Jan Ortlin, a citizen of Brno. He bought another farm from the Brno citizen Marek, which Marek had owned since 1350. In 1378 the Supreme Marshal of the Margraviate of Moravia, Filip von Svojanov, acquired Ostopovice. At that time there was a parish in Ostopovice. In the second half of the 14th century, the area was hit by a severe bubonic plague epidemic that killed a third of the population. In 1412, Canon Luček von Březník and Mikeš Lyska von Chrudichromy Ostopovice bought it. After several changes of partners, the entire village belonged to Jindřich Babka from 1490. There is evidence of a festival in Ostopovice since 1496. The following owners were from 1501 Jan Doupovec, from 1520 Jan Petrovský von Hrochov and from 1540 Matthias Munk von Eibenschütz. Munk previously owned parts of the villages Troubsko and Popůvky . The fortress was called desolate in 1540. After Munk had acquired the entire Troubsko estate in 1573, he established the Troubsko estate. In 1609 Charles the Elder from Zerotein acquired Troubsko with Ostopovice and the share in Popůvky for 24,000 guilders. Ostopovice at that time consisted of 22 houses. During the siege of Brno in 1645, the area was harassed by the troops of the Swedish general Torstensson . After the Thirty Years' War, 19 farmed and three desolate properties are shown in the hoof register for Ostopovice. Ostopovice should have had about 150 inhabitants at that time. In 1735 Thomas Johann Sekora von Seckenberg acquired the rule. After the consecration of the new parish church of the Assumption in Troubsko, Ostopovice was parish off to Troubsko. In 1790, 262 people lived in the 40 houses in Ostopovice. Troubsko was also a school location until 1797. From 1795 onwards, a monastery founded by Marie Cäcilie Sekora von Seckenberg developed into its own one-class village school in Ostopovice. In 1834 the village had grown to 99 houses and had 368 inhabitants.

After the abolition of patrimonial Vostopovice formed a municipality in the Brno district from 1850. On August 16, 1856, a major fire destroyed 23 houses. In 1869 the village had 419 inhabitants and consisted of 74 houses. In 1880 the population had grown to 428. Almost all of them were Czech, and the influx of Germans into the Brno area, which began in the 17th century, hardly affected Vostopovice . In June 1886, passenger traffic on the Brno-Okříšky railway was started and the Lískovec - Vostopovice a Troubsko - Bosonohy boarding station was built not far from the Strutz church . In 1898 the district road to Starý Lískovec was built and in 1906 the connecting road to Střelice was completed. In 1910 the community had 550 inhabitants. In 1913 the volunteer fire brigade was founded . The road to Moravany was completed in 1920. In 1921 Vostopovice came to Okres Brno-venkov. The municipality name Ostopovice has been used since 1923 . In 1933 a swimming pond was created in the Šelše valley. In 1939, Wostopowitz began work on the Reichsautobahn Vienna – Breslau . The recreation area in the Šelše valley was also filled in. In 1942 the construction of the motorway ceased. In April 1945 the place was at the front. The Red Army captured Ostopovice on April 25, 1945 during their Bratislava-Brno operation . 16 Soviet soldiers and four residents of the village died in the fighting. In 1948 the municipality was assigned to the Okres Brno-okolí. After its abolition, Ostopovice came back to Okres Brno-venkov in 1961. The Prague-Brno motorway was built between 1969 and 1972 .
