history
The area was first settled before our era. Tobitschau was first mentioned in writing in 1203. The St. George Church is documented for the year 1297. The Bohemian King Wenceslaus II is considered the founder .
In the following years several owners alternated, including the Lords of Cimburg from 1327 to 1502 , who called themselves from 1359 as "Tobitschau von Cimburg" ( Tovačovský z Cimburka ) and in the same year Tovačov was raised to a city under Magdeburg law . Johann Tovačovský von Cimburg expanded the city into a Hussite fortress and held the post of Moravian governor from 1437–1460 . In 1454 he settled the Jews expelled from Olomouc . After his death in 1464 he was followed by his son Ctibor Tobischau von Cimburg , under whom Tobitschau developed into a center of Moravian intellectual life. He granted protection to the persecuted Bohemian brothers on his estates and in 1473 granted Tobitschau market rights, and later its own coat of arms. After a fire that destroyed large parts of the city in 1470, he rebuilt the city. In 1492 he converted the Gothic moated castle into a Renaissance castle.
Tobitschau experienced an economic boom under the rule of the Pernsteiner (1503 to 1597). Wilhelm II. Von Pernstein , who in 1503 for 24,000 shock groschen the castle Alt Tobitschau with the new town Tobitschau and the suburb of Czip, the spots Klenowitz and Kralitz as well as the villages Czeltschitz , Czihowitz , Eywan , Herdiborzitz , Klopotowitz , Oploczan , Rakodau, Troubek , Wierowan and Wiklek (Viklice), including part of Piwein, had inherited the pond economy operated under the rule of the Cimburgs. In 1513 he bought the village of Czertoreg. In 1521 his son Johann inherited the rule and bought Majetín . His son Vratislav , who took over the inheritance in 1548, left the rule to his brother-in-law Juan Manrique de Lara in 1567 and donated the Pernstein house's collection of books to the newly built Olomouc Jesuit school . Through the marriage of Juan's daughter Maria with her cousin Johann von Pernstein , the rule returned to the Pernstein family in 1591. Johann von Pernstein got into debt during the Long Turkish War and had to pledge Tobitschau to Count Zierotin . After Johann von Pernstein fell in front of Raab in 1597 , he sold the rule to Stephan Illesházy. During the Thirty Years War , the city was badly destroyed by the rebels of the estates in 1619 . During the rule of the Counts Salm - Neuburg (1600 to 1715) the administration became German.
From 1715 to 1736 Tobitschau belonged to the Lords of Peterswald ( z Petřvaldu ), who renewed the city gates and the fortifications. Since they resided outside the city, they let the city run by administrators who, however, had no great interest in the further development of the city.
The reign of Tobitschau experienced a renewed boom under the barons of Kuenburg (1763-1887). In 1766 they finished the renovation of the castle, which they extended by a wing. The city fortifications and gates were demolished and replaced with gardens.
On July 15, 1866, the last battle of the Austro-Prussian War was fought in the area. In 1887 knight David Gutmann acquired the property, who had the castle restored again from 1887 to 1902 and founded a sugar factory in 1890. From 1941 to 1945 the expropriated property served the National Socialists as a Germanization center for Hanna . At the end of the war in 1945, a few hours before the German surrender was signed, a tank battle with the American army that raged from May 1 to 8, 1945 ended nearby.
