Rancířov is one of the oldest parish villages in South Moravia. In 1257 the parish "ad Ronzer" was given to the Geras Abbey , to which it will remain until after the Second World War . In a deed of December 13, 1450, the taxes of "Ranzer" were regulated and these were converted by Robot and taxes into a cash payment. The dialect of Northern Bavarian, which was spoken until 1945, suggests that the inhabitants of the place came from the Upper Palatinate, which distinguishes them from the areas further east of Znojmo and Nikolsburg . In 1645, during the Thirty Years War , the place was sacked and sacked by Swedish troops under Field Marshal Lennart Torstensson . An “orphan book” has been preserved from the same year. Parish registers have been kept in the place since 1724. The inhabitants of the place lived from agriculture, although viticulture, which is otherwise so important in South Moravia, was not practiced. Until 1945, the Kirtag was always held on the Sunday after the Assumption (August 15).

After the First World War , the place, whose inhabitants were 97% German-speaking in 1910, came to the newly founded Czechoslovak Republic . After the Munich Agreement in 1938, German troops moved into the town in October, which until 1945 belonged to the Niederdonau Gau .

After the end of the Second World War (May 8, 1945), which claimed seven victims among the residents of Ranzers, the community came back to Czechoslovakia. At the beginning of June 1945 the place was occupied by a motorized group of Czechs, at the same time and system as the surrounding communities. They took some hostages and drove the German residents and finally the hostages across the border into Austria. In accordance with the original transfer goals of the Potsdam Communiqué , the USSR demanded the transfer of all ethnic Germans in Austria to Germany in January 1946. Primarily the residents of Ranzern were settled in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Hesse.

In 2001 the village consisted of 35 houses in which 136 people lived.

Coat of arms and seal

It is not clear whether Ranzern had its own seal . Czech literature mentions either a heart with three protruding flowers or a plow iron. It must be noted that there was also a Ranzern at Iglau, which belonged to the same rule as Ranzern in South Moravia.
