history
The Podolí area has been populated since the Stone Age. Archaeological sites can be found in the Čtvrtě, Hrubé Podsedky, Lepiny, Nad Paloukem, Nad Pindulkou, Palouk, Pololány, Šelov, Vážany and Žuráň corridors. In 1907 a large Late Bronze Age burial site was discovered during excavation work, in which 145 graves were examined. In the same year the first archaeological exhibition in Moravia took place in the Pindulka restaurant . Finds from Podolí were also donated for the anniversary exhibition opened in Kroměříž in 1908 . The urn field culture was named after its place of discovery as Kritschen culture ( podolská kultura ). At the foot of the Žuráň rock, a large burial mound was discovered in 1853 with some originally richly decorated graves from the time of the Great Migration , which were looted soon after their construction. Between 1948 and 1950 there was a partial investigation of the grave site on the Žuráň. It was found that members of the upper class of a Germanic tribe are buried in the graves. The early historian Josef Poulík from Brno assumes that the 14 m high burial mound, built at the end of the 5th and beginning of the 6th centuries, is the burial place of the Lombard Duke Wacho , who died around 539 . Some other historians suspect that it was the burial place of the Herulian tribal prince Rudolf .
The first written mention of Podolí was in a papal certificate of ownership and approval of Gregor IX issued on September 24, 1237 for the Obrowitz monastery . The villages Klobouky , Diváky , Bohunice, Kohoutovice, Zábrdovice, Ochoz , Křtiny , Kohi, Utěšenice, Zbýšov , Šaratice , Mezilesice, Čenkovice, Velké Hostěrádky , Bohumilice, Kamenecovalice, Jezera, Kamenecovice , Jezera, Kamenice were named as property.
The settlement originally consisted of two localities. The Kříčeň manor was on the left bank of the Říčka and the village of Podolí on the right. Subsequently, the owners changed frequently. From 1358 the owner of Kritschen was Johann Eberhardt, a citizen of Brno. At that time Podolí belonged to the Lelekovice lords . In 1369, the chapter of St. Peter in Brno acquired both localities and united them to form a rulership of Kritschen. According to Kritschen, the villages of Horní Heršpice , Komárov, Přízřenice, Bohunice, Zvonovice , Rousínovec , Dolní Heršpice, Nebovidy , Hartlůvka, Cejl, Prace , Bedřichovice, Velešovice and Ořechov were subservient at that time . The location on the Olomouc Steig led to military invasions during the Thirty Years' War. In 1642 and 1645 the village was ravaged by the Swedes who unsuccessfully besieged Brno . The oldest local seal dates from 1644. Further war invasions took place at the end of the 17th century. In 1795 the village consisted of 74 houses as well as a tavern, the manorial court, a forge, distillery, brewery, mill and sheep farm and had 447 inhabitants. At the end of 1805 the battle of Austerlitz took place near Křičeň .
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Křičeň / Kritschen 1850 political communities in the district administration Brno . Since 1851 Podoly was used as a Czech place name and Kritschen as a German place name. In 1877 the school in Podolí was inaugurated.
