history

The village was created as a row village on both sides of the Lhotecký potok by the Titschein lordship in the course of the development of the country according to the Lhot system. Lhota was first mentioned in a document in 1429. At that time, the estate was owned by the Lords of Kravarn . Later followed u. a. the lords of Boskowitz , from 1500 the lords of Zierotin , after the battle of the White Mountain the barons Hofmann von Grünbüchel, from 1706 the barons Zeno zum Danhaus and from 1772 the imperial counts von Seilern and Aspang . Most of the time the village was referred to as Lhota , at times also as Kočičí Lhota . From this, the German name Katzendorf developed after the Thirty Years War . The oldest local seal dates from 1749 and shows a ploughshare and a six .

In 1835 the village of Katzendorf or Lhota , located in the Prerau district on the trade route to Hustopetsch , consisted of 51 houses in which 338 people lived. The population was mixed. There was a manorial farm and a school in the village . There was an inn on the post road leading past Mährisch Weißkirchen to Galicia . The parish was Alt Titschein . Until the middle of the 19th century, Katzendorf remained subject to the Alt Titschein rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Lhota / Katzendorf formed a community in the judicial district of Neutitschein from 1849 . In 1859, the village blacksmith Jan Vahala improved the steep turning plow ( Ruchadlo ) constructed by cousins ​​František and Václav Veverka from Rybitví . From 1869 Lhota belonged to the Neutitschein district. At that time the village had 360 inhabitants and consisted of 53 houses. In 1877 Lhota received a gendarmerie station. Since the end of the 19th century, the village was alternatively known as Kočičí Lhota . In 1884 a monument was erected for Jan Vahala and the plow he designed. Between 1895 and 1898 the branch church Herz Mariä was built. In the same year the first dairy cooperative in Moravia was founded in Kočičí Lhota ; However, it was not very successful and was dissolved again after a short time. In 1900 there were 364 people in Lhota, compared to 362 in 1910. In 1905, Friedrich Deym von Střítež acquired the Starý Jičín manor. The Meierhof was leased during this time. The voluntary fire brigade was founded in 1908. The gendarmerie station was closed again in 1912. In 1921 the Czech place name was changed to Starojická Lhota . In the course of the land reform, the Meierhof floors were parceled out and sold out. A cemetery was laid out on the southern outskirts in 1924. In 1930 Starojická Lhota consisted of 61 houses and had 418 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the purely Moravian-speaking village was initially added to the German Reich in 1938. In the course of further border regulations, the community was spun off from the Neu Titschein district on November 24, 1938 and returned to Czechoslovakia ; The state border with the German Empire ran along the western and northern boundary of the district . During this time Jičina and Janovice were also parish in Starojická Lhota. Until 1945 Starojická Lhota was assigned to the newly formed district Wallachisch Meseritsch and came back to Okres Nový Jičín after the end of the war. The JZD Starojická Lhota was founded in 1957 , and in 1973 it was merged with other cooperatives to form the JZD Starojicko. The school closed in 1975. At the beginning of 1979 Starojická Lhota was incorporated into Starý Jičín. In the 2001 census, there were 348 people in the 98 houses in Starojická Lhota. The kindergarten was reopened in 2010 after several years of closure and reconstruction. As of January 1, 2018, the village had 411 inhabitants and consisted of 136 houses.
