history

St. Benedict Church

Archaeological finds prove that the municipality has been settled since the Neolithic Age . Around 2000 BC A Bronze Age settlement was located on the spur of Hradisko u Zelené Hory . Between the 5th and 7th centuries, a fortified castle was built on the Hradisko in the immediate vicinity of the Amber Road during the Samo Empire . The castle site probably formed the center of a tribal princely district and was the starting point for settling the surrounding area. In the course of colonization, Slavic settlements emerged in which farmers and shepherds lived. During the Great Moravian Empire , the castle site was expanded into an important castle. At that time there was a wooden church in Pustiměř, the remains of which were found near the market.

The first written mention of the place took place in 1026 in a deed of donation to the Olomouc castellan Zvěst, who was rewarded for his services in the victory over the Poles in Moravia with the goods of the Church of St. Peter in the Olomouc outer bailey. Furthermore, the place was mentioned in 1034 in connection with a donation for Zvěst's salvation to the St. Peter Church by his brother Luty. The originals of these documents have been lost, they were in the demolished church of St. Peter. Josef Vratislav von Monse made copies of it in the 18th century. In the founding document of the Altbunzlau Chapter, dated 1046 , Pustimir was named as the property of the Přemyslid dukes. However, this document is a forgery thirty years later. The time when the rotunda of St. Pantaleon can be dated to the end of the 11th century. It is believed that the rotunda was founded by Vratislav II as a center of the Old Slavonic liturgy he reintroduced before Vratislav II turned away from Pope Gregory VII in 1085 as a condition for his coronation as the first Bohemian king of the Slavic liturgy declared.

In the 12th or 13th century, the Gau Pustimir came to the Diocese of Olomouc , which brought German colonists into the country. In the deed of transfer of ownership to the newly built Wenceslas Cathedral from Bishop Heinrich Zdik from 1131 for all goods belonging to St. Peter's Church , Pustimir was not mentioned. However, it mentions the goods Nemojany , Podivice and Rostěnice belonging to the Pustimir Gau as well as possessions in Vyškov , Dražovice , Hlubočany , Želeč , Křižanovice and the desert village of Melice near Pustimir. From this and another Zdik document from 1141 it can be seen that the two markets of Vyškov and Pustimir formed the centers of the Pustimir Gaus. In a document made between 1210 and 1232, Bishop Robert of England gave the Olomouc provost and the chapter a newly planted vineyard near Pustimir and the church in Pustimir one and a half Huben Land in Pustimir, a Hube in Drysice and the episcopal property in Želeč. At least since then Pustimir belonged to the possessions of the Olomouc bishopric. In March 1243, Bishop Konrad von Friedberg held a diocesan synod in Pustimir. In the second half of the 13th century Pustimir was called a town and had market rights as well as the low and embarrassing jurisdiction. Pustimir continued to have the privilege of teaching 70 surrounding villages. In addition, Pustimir was given the toll rights for Melice Castle. Between 1247 and 1267, Pustimir was attached to the Wischau rulership together with Melice and Deutsch Pruss Castle , with their subjects being considered urban subjects. The rule was henceforth hereditary bestowed on feudal men by the diocese. In 1340, south of the town, Bishop Jan Volek founded the Pustiměř monastery , which was given to the Benedictine nuns at the same time as school law and was dedicated to Ad infantiam Salvatoris et beatae Mariae . In 1344 Pustimir received a water supply and Bishop Volek had a bath set up. The oldest tradition of a city seal also dates from this year. After disagreements about the possessions of the monastery arose, Bishop Volek transferred the episcopal property on which he had founded the monastery to the order in 1348. In 1351, King Charles IV transferred the church patronage in Pustimir, which had been due to the sovereign, to the parish church. The neighboring town of Šrámov mentioned in writings between 1356 and 1358 is the village of Melice, which at that time was called Šrámov after Johann Schramm. The Schramms ( Šramové ), who presumably came from the County of Schauenburg and who had come to Moravia in the wake of Bishop Bruno of Schaumburg , had their burial place in the Pustimir Monastery. A permanent vicar was installed in the monastery church in 1378. At that time the Church of St. Pantaleon dedicated to the city saint James the Elder. In 1401, the vicar Bertranus Jan joined Pope Boniface IX in a document . as school director, this is the first evidence for the parish and monastery school Pustimir. During the Hussite Wars between 1429 and 1431, the episcopal castles of Pustimir and Melice and the monastery were destroyed. The feudal system was not continued from then on. The monastery continued to exist, but it never regained its previous economic importance. Bishop Markus Kuen confirmed the town's school rights and higher jurisdiction in 1563. In 1564 the bishop transferred the exercise of the rights to the curator of the monastery, Vladiken Václav from Počenice on Želec and his clerk Filip Liskovský. In 1582 the order sold the tavern in Deutsch Pruss including the brewing and serving rights. At that time town had become predominantly Czech-speaking. In 1588 Pope Sixtus V finally closed the Benedictine monastery. The church in Pustimir was elevated to a parish church again and the monastery property was attached to the Wischau rulership. From that time on there was an episcopal court in Pustimir. During the Thirty Years' War, the area was occupied by the Swedes in 1643, who sacked the town in 1644 and set it on fire. In 1675 only six half-hooves were managed, including three widow's farms. Later 43 properties are listed for Pustimir. In the 18th century, Pustimir completely lost its importance and was attached to the Drysice rule. After the district chief of the Wischau district complained about the subjects in Pustimir, the robot obligation was reorganized in 1777.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Pustoměř / Pustomirz 1850 with the district Zelena Hora a market town in the district administration Wischau . In 1886 the diocese leased the Pustoměř farm under the name Pustiměž a Zelená Hora to the Wischauer sugar factory. During the German occupation in 1940, the decision was made to expand the Wischau firing range into a large military training area for the Wehrmacht , which was built north of the town. The two windmills on the Nad Bochtálem hill were also torn down. Between 1942 and 1945 German Prussia was incorporated. After the end of the Second World War, the military training area was closed in June 1945 and the evacuated areas were repopulated. In 1949 Německé Prusy , 1964 Zelená Hora and 1986 Podivice was incorporated. The latter two places broke up again in 1990. In March 2001 in the district Pustiměř 708 and in Pustiměřské Prusy 820 inhabitants were counted.
