history
Archaeological finds show that the area has been inhabited 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.
In the 12th or 13th century, the Gau Pustimir came to the Diocese of Olomouc . In a document made between 1210 and 1232, Bishop Robert of England gave the Olomouc Propstei and the Chapter a newly laid out vineyard near Pustimir, which was located on the Pod Vodojemem corridor near Pustiměřské Prusy. The first written mention of the village in a document from the time between 1247 and 1267, when Pustimir was attached to the episcopal rule Wischau together with the Melice and Prusy castles , whereby the subjects were considered urban subjects. The settlement of German settlers took place through the diocese; Prusy and Pustimir formed the northernmost part of the Wischau language island . As with all Moravian villages with the names Prusy and Prusinovice and the Bohemian Koněprusy, the name of the village is not derived from Prussian settlers, but from a flood of cattle . To distinguish it from villages of the same name, the place was later referred to as Deutsch Prusy or Deutsch Pruss due to its German-speaking population . In 1340, Bishop Jan Volek founded the Benedictine abbey Ad infantiam Salvatoris et beatae Mariae . The privilege of teaching 70 surrounding villages, which had previously been granted to the town of Pustimir, was transferred to Prusy. 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. According to the excerpts from the orphan register or currency book of Deutsch Pruss from the years 1535–1596 published by the Lower Austrian regional archive director Karl Lechner in the 16th century, the village was inhabited by Czechs and Germans. After further investigation, Ernst Schwarz assumed that in the course of the assimilation from 1570 onwards, German Pruss was mainly spoken in Czech. In 1582 the order sold the tavern in Deutsch Pruss including the brewing and serving rights. In 1588 Pope Sixtus V finally closed the Benedictine monastery. The monastery estates were reconnected to the Wischau rule. During the Thirty Years War, the area was occupied, looted and pillaged by the Swedes between 1643 and 1644.
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Německé Prusy / German Pruß 1850 a municipality in the district administration Wischau . In 1930 Německé Prusy had 768 inhabitants. During the German occupation, the community was given the name German Prussia . 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. German Prussia was not affected by the eviction, but was incorporated into Pustimir in 1942. After the end of the Second World War, the incorporation was reversed; the military training area was closed in June 1945. In 1949 the communities Německé Prusy and Pustiměř were merged to form the municipality Pustiměř and the district Německé Prusy was renamed Pustiměřské Prusy . In 1991 Pustiměřské Prusy had 722 inhabitants. The 2001 census counted 820 residents and 253 houses.
