history

The village was founded as a Waldhufendorf probably around 1250 during the colonization of the area by the Lords of Čeblovice, who later called themselves von Hohlenstein . The first settlers were Germans. Hamlíkov is said to have been founded by 130 young people from Hamelin who emigrated in 1284. The name researcher Jürgen Udolph questioned this assumption in 1997 and refuted the derivation of the place name Hamlíkov from Hameln. The villages of Ruprecht and Vilémov fell desolate around 1350 in the course of a plague epidemic . Between 1375 and 1376, the village belonging to the Ratschitz rulership was repopulated. During the Hussite Wars , the German settlers fled and Ruprecht was repopulated by the Czechs. Hamlíkov remained desolate. In 1446 the village was listed in the land register of the Ratschitz manor when Kunek von Kravař inherited the advisory seat from his father Georg. After the line of Krawarn died out in the male line, his estates reverted to the Bohemian Crown. Friedrich III took over the administration . as guardian of the minor heir to the throne, Ladislaus Postumus . 1511 sold Ladislaus Jagiello of Kunek of Krawarn escheated rule Ratschitz of Ladislav of Boskovice and his four brothers. In 1562 Jindřich Dobeš Černohorský von Boskowitz left the castle Ratschitz with the town Ratschitz, the villages Pístovice , Ježkovice , Drnovice as well as the desert places Vilémov and Sokolí to Jan Jindřich Černohorský von Boskowitz. He sold the rule to Hans Haugwitz von Biskupitz in 1568 . In 1571 Jan Dobčanský d. J. von Zdenín appointed a bailiff at the Ruprecht farm. Hans Haugwitz sold his property in Ruprechtov in 1572 to Vilém Jedovnický von Podomí . In the same year he killed the local Pavel Čely on his farm for no reason. Until the middle of the 19th century Ruprecht always remained submissive to Ratschitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial rulers , Ruprecht formed a community in the district administration of Wischau from 1850 with the district of Poidom . In 1869 Poidom broke away and formed its own community. In 1880 a gendarmerie station was built in Poidom for the villages of Poidom, Krásensko and Ruprecht. 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 . The 33 villages to be evacuated for the construction of the Wischau military training area also included parts of Ruprecht in the last stage to be completed by April 1945.
