history
Archaeological finds show an early settlement in the area of the municipality. The oldest are fragments of the Moravian painted ceramic culture from around 4700 BC. Chr.
The first written mention of the church in Starovičky took place in 1239 in the course of an extensive donation from Přibyslav von Křižanov to the Altbrno Heiliggeist Hospital. It is believed that Starovičky was founded by Czech colonists from neighboring Starovice . The village belonged to the sovereign estates in the 13th century and in 1323 it became the property of the newly founded Royal Monastery of Old Brno . At the beginning of the 17th century the Liechtensteiners acquired Starovičky. In 1839 the Emperor Ferdinand's Northern Railway opened the railway from Vienna to Brno south of the village.
After the abolition of patrimonial Starovičky / Klein Steurowitz formed from 1850 a community in the district authority Auspitz . During this time until 1923 the place names Malé Štajrovice and Šťarovičky were sometimes used. In 1897, the Saitz – Czeicz – Göding local railway , which branched off at the Saitz station south of the village in an open field, began operating. After the district town of Auspitz and the villages of Gurdau and Saitz were added to the German Reich in 1938 as a result of the Munich Agreement , Starovičky bordered the German Reich in both the north and south until 1945. The village was initially assigned to the political district of Brno-Land and in 1942 to the political district of Göding . In the last days of the Second World War, during the advance of the Red Army in the evening hours of April 13, 1945, a tank battle occurred north of the village on the road to Auspitz, in which a Soviet T-34 under fortunate circumstances faced an overwhelming force of four Germans Panther prevailed. The Soviet tank commander Ivan Stepanowitsch Mirenkow survived the fight with serious injuries. The victorious battle was subsequently picked up by the Soviet state propaganda and exaggerated into a heroism legend. After the end of the war, the Okres Hustopeče was restored. After the territorial reform of 1960, the municipality was assigned to the Okres Břeclav on January 1, 1961 . Starovičky has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1999. Wine is grown on the hill of Hustopečská pahorkatina north and east of the village.
