history

Windmill in Rudice

Rudice was probably founded at the beginning of the 9th century during the Slavic colonization of the area as a settlement of charcoal burners and smelters. After 1180, farmers also settled in the place. The early place names Roda , Rota , Rodica and Rotica have their origins in the old iron stone mining. The oldest part of today's village was laid out in 1247. While the rural residents of Rudice were motivated, the mountain stand enjoyed freedom. In 1350 Rudice was pledged to Heralt von Kunstadt and Lissitz . In 1414 Vladike Jakub von Rudice bought the goods and lived in the Rudice farm until 1454. After the iron mining industry in Rudice had ceased in 1450, Ladislaw Jagiello in 1506 again granted Beneš Černohorský von Boskowitz a mining right privilege . In the course of time numerous noble families took turns as owners of the rule. In 1601 Bernhard Drnovský acquired the Jedovnice estate including Rudice and added it to the Rájec manor . During the Thirty Years' War the area was sacked by Swedish troops in 1645. After the Drnovský family died out, their estates fell to the Counts of Roggendorf and Mollenburg . In 1746, Anton Josef Altgraf von Salm-Reifferscheidt acquired the rule through marriage. In 1781 the village had 236 inhabitants. At that time, the old counts of Salm-Reifferscheidt had the monopoly of cast iron production in Austria-Hungary due to an imperial decree . At the beginning of the 19th century, Hugo Franz Altgraf zu Salm-Reifferscheidt led the iron works Starohraběcí huť, Mariánská huť, Klamovka huť, Františka huť and Hugova huť and the Ruditz ironworks at the Hugo caves to an economic boom. A hammer mill colony was established east of the village in Augezd and 512 people lived in Ruditz in 1836,

After the abolition of patrimonial Rudice / Ruditz formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Boskowitz . In 1860, iron ore mining in Ruditz reached its absolute peak with a production volume of 175,000 quintals. Rudice had 867 inhabitants in 1893, 1024 in 1927. In 1948 Rudice was assigned to the Okres Blansko . In 1993 only 772 people lived in Rudice, in 2008 it was 897 again.
