history
Archaeological finds show a settlement in the municipality since the Paleolithic . The first written mention of the place Cetisouicih took place in 1141 in a property register of the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik among the goods of the Archdiocese of Přerov . At the transition from the 12th to the 13th century there was a fortified settlement on the site of the church, protected by ramparts. The next documented tradition dates from 1307. At that time, Teczowicze formed an independent estate, owned by Vladike Buň from Tečovice. Next to the feast of the Lords of Tečovice there was a little church, which, according to archaeological findings, was built around 1260. In the course of the union of the Tečovice and Malenovice dominions, Teczowicze became subject to the Malenovice Castle in 1350 and the Tečovice Fortress was extinguished at the end of the 14th century. In 1356 the place was called Tetcowycz . The work of the priest Milicz de Teczowicz (1320-1374, Milíč z Tečovic ), who later went to Kremsier and worked there as a preacher under the name of Iohannis Milicii de Cremsier , also fell into this period . The owners of the estate changed many times. On August 11, 1470, King George of Podebrady camped in Tetczowicz during the Bohemian-Hungarian War . The place name Tetczowicze has been handed down from 1492 . The lords of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn were among the most important owners of the estate . Until the middle of the 19th century, the place was always subject to Malenovice.
After the abolition of patrimonial Tetšovice / Tetschowitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Uherské Hradiště . From 1881 the village was called Cetišovice , the current place name Tečovice was introduced in 1924. When the Okres Zlín was established in 1935, the municipality was assigned to it. Tečovice was incorporated into Gottwaldov in 1960 and broke away on November 24, 1990 from the town, which in the meantime was renamed Zlín again.
The municipality has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1992. It shows two silver spurs on a green field , which symbolize the Vladiken von Tečovice. The shell refers to the local saint and church patron.
