history

Sovinec developed below the Sovinec castle of the same name , which was built around 1320 by the brothers Wok and Paul. They came from the Moravian noble family of the Hrut and, like their ancestors, first settled on the fortress in Huzová , which was a fiefdom of the Olomouc bishops. Only after the brothers moved their headquarters to the newly built Eulenburg ( Hrad Sovinec ) did they call themselves “de Aulnburk” and later with the derived Czech translation of Sovinec ( ze Sovince ). While the castle was first mentioned in a document in 1353 in the corresponding entry in the Olomouc country table and referred to as “Sovinecz” in the Czech spelling, the village “Sovinec” was first documented in 1480. Since it was already referred to as a town this year and was the seat of the rulers of the same name, it must be significantly older. Since the Eulenberg rule was a base of the Hussites , it was devastated by the Hungarian troops during the Bohemian-Hungarian War in 1474.

In 1592 the Eulenberg dominion consisted of the Eulenburg, the towns of Eulenberg / Sovinec, Frýdlant and Brunzejf and 17 villages. In 1535 Ješek Pňovský von Sovinec signed the town of Eulenberg / Sovinec and the Eulenburg as well as seven villages of his wife Anna von Würben auf Freudenthal ( Anna Bruntálska z Vrbna ) as a marriage property. Because of over-indebtedness he sold the castle and the partly desolate rule to Christoph von Boskowitz , who introduced the Reformation before 1545 . In 1578, the Sovinec estate was acquired by the mining entrepreneur Lorenz Eder von Sstiawnicz ( Vavřinec Eder z Štiavnic ), the liener of the neighboring Rabenstein estate . He was followed by his son-in-law Jan d. Ä. Kobylka von Kobylí, who had to sell his goods to Karl von Liechtenstein because of his participation in the uprising after the battle of the White Mountain . This handed over the castle and rule of Eulenberg to the Teutonic Order in 1623 . In 1844/45 he built the St. Augustine branch church in Eulenberg / Sovinec, which is one of the outstanding buildings of the Empire in Moravia.

The Eulenberg market belonged to the German district of Römerstadt from 1938 to 1945 . In 1943 the German Order was expropriated by the National Socialists and a prison camp for French officers was set up in the castle. Due to the expulsion of the German population in 1945/46, the number of inhabitants decreased significantly. In 1950 only 115 inhabitants were counted, while in 1930 there were 276. After a further decrease, in 2001 there were only 30 inhabitants. After the Okres Rýmařov was abolished, the municipality was assigned to the Okres Bruntál in 1960. In 1961 Křížov was incorporated. On July 1, 1979 it was incorporated into Jiříkov.
