history
Legend has it that the city was founded by Otto II , who thanked him for the victory over the Bohemian ruler Břetislav . Telsch was first mentioned in 1207. It was at the crossroads of important roads between Bohemia , Moravia and Austria and developed into a city by the end of the 13th century. In 1315 King John of Bohemia sold the town and its castle to the Lords of Wartenberg . In 1339, in exchange for the South Moravian rule of Bánov, it went to the Lords of Neuhaus , who used the castle as an administrative center. In 1443 Telsch was conquered by the Hussites . In 1531 it was inherited by Zacharias von Neuhaus , who later became the Chamberlain and Governor of Moravia. He initiated reforms and introduced fish farming, so that the city experienced an economic boom and the time of his reign was referred to as the "Golden Age" of Telsch. Since he died without male heirs, his possessions fell to his nephew Adam II von Neuhaus , from whom his son Joachim Ulrich von Neuhaus inherited them in 1596 . He was the last male descendant of the von Neuhaus family and died in 1604. His sister Lucie Otilie, who had been married to the future Chancellor Wilhelm von Slawata since 1602, became the heiress . This gave Telsch to the Slavata family . In the Thirty Years' War the city and its population had much to suffer after the occupation by the Swedes 1645th
After the death of the last Slavata, the Teltsch rule fell to Franz Anton von Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn in 1712 , who bequeathed it to Alois Podstatský von Prusinowitz . The castle remained in the possession of this family until 1945.
