history

The first written mention of Těšany took place in 1131. In 1277 Agnes, the daughter of Boček von Jaroslavice and Zbraslav and wife of Witicho von Rodenbach (= Witiko / Veit von Schwabenitz auf Ùpa / Vítek z Rodenburku a ze Švábenic ) gave a gift Third of the village the Cistercian monastery Saar . Jesek von Wildenberg-Busau bought part of the village in 1356 from the Brno butcher Konrad Otto. In 1377 his son Benesch von Wildenberg-Busau ceded a farm and 18 hubs of the village to the Dominican monastery of St. Michael in Brno , with the provision of lifelong use by his brother, the Teutonic Knight Niklas von Wildenberg-Busau. The other part was later owned by the nunnery of St. Anna near Brno. The part of the Saar monastery later acquired the Altbrünner Königinkloster and a little later left it to the Dominican monastery. Between 1528 and 1548 the part belonging to the Annenkloster was pledged together with Moutnice and Šitbořice to Heinrich von Lomnitz, after which the monastery redeemed the pledge. In 1620 the village was devastated by the troops of the rebellious estates. In 1645 the village was burned down by the Swedes. Another major fire in 1663 reduced large parts of the village to rubble and ashes. In 1666 the Dominican monastery also bought the other part of Těšany. After the abolition of the monastery in the course of the Josephine reforms, Těšany fell to the religious fund in 1784. On November 27, 1807, he sold the Těšany estate including the Scharatitz-Schinkowitz Meierhof, which had been separated from the Obrowitz rule, to the Imperial and Royal Truchseß Anton Mayer von Mayern. In the same year he left the property to the Moravian lawyer Vincenz von Feistmantl. Since his death in 1821 there was a community of property and from 1830 the allodial property, valued at 296,915 florins, belonged to his sons Karl and Ferdinand von Feistmantl, who took their mother Sophie and her sister of the same name as co-heirs. In November 1831, 57 residents died from the breakdown . In 1834 the village consisted of 137 houses and had 775 inhabitants who all spoke Moravian. With the exception of 46 Helvetians , the residents were all Catholic. The three Meierhöfe belonged to Tieschan at this time: Tieschaner Hof, Ober Schinkowitzer Hof and Unter Schinkowitzer Hof, the latter also known as Scharatitzer Hof.

After the abolition of patrimonial Těšany / Tieschan formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Auspitz . In 1949 the municipality was assigned to the new Okres Židlochovice. Since the abolition of the Okres Židlochovice in 1961, Těšany belongs to the Okres Brno-venkov.
