history

The first written mention of the village Ugricich took place in 1131 in the list of goods of the Diocese of Olomouc . Legend has it that the place was founded by a Moravian prince after a campaign against the Hungarians. In 1174, Duke Udalrich II also left the sovereign share of Ugricio to the Olomouc Church, which became the sole owner of the village. In 1178 the village was called Uhriczicz . There is evidence of a mill since 1277. Other forms of the name were Huhrziczicz (1358), Aurczicz , Aurzicz (1370) and Uhrzyczicz (1390). A school was mentioned in 1450, but it did not exist throughout. After the place fell desolate during the Bohemian-Hungarian War, Uhřičsko was repopulated in 1480. Uherčice u Kojetína consisted of 45 properties and a school in 1515. In 1540 the village was designated as Uherčice , 1580 as Uhržicžic , 1600 as Uhrzicze , 1676 as Uherčice , from 1718 as Uhrziczitz , Uhřitschitz , Uhrschitschitz , Uhritschitz and Uhriczitz , 1771 as Uhrzititium , 1793 as Uhržitšicze and 1863 as Uhřičicium . The oldest local seal comes from the 16th century; it showed a six with a furrow and bore the inscription Obec Uhřičice . From 1643 there was a permanent school in the place. The registers have been kept in Kojetín since 1715. In 1767 the village consisted of 40 farmers, 19 Chalupners, 5 cottagers, a miller and a tavern. In 1793 one was dedicated to St. Seriously consecrated village bell bought, it burst in a fire in 1861. In 1819 the entire village burned down. In 1830, 613 people lived in the 73 houses in Uhřičice.

After the abolition of patrimonial Uhřičice / Uhrziczitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the Kremsier district administration . In 1855 the municipality was assigned to the Kojetín District and in 1868 again to the Kremsier District. After the large village bell burst in a fire in 1861, the community procured two smaller bells - Joseph and Maria. During the March flood of 1875, the residents of the village saved 21 gypsies from drowning. Since 1877 the village belongs to the Okres Přerov. In 1895 the railway line to Tovačov was built as a connecting line for the local sugar factory. In 1910, 749 people lived in the 116 houses in Uhřičice. After the regulation of the March, the village was partially flooded again in 1911. In 1917 the Josef bell was requisitioned as war metal, the smaller Maria bell was left to the community in exchange for a bribe. It was confiscated in World War II, but was found again in Hamburg in 1946 . Since the parish had meanwhile procured two new bells of inferior quality, Mary was given to the church in Polkovice. In the last days of the Second World War, the railway bridge over the Valová was fiercely contested between partisans and the Wehrmacht; the partisan Franz Körner died on May 7, 1945 from a dumdum bullet. In 1949 the community was assigned to Okres Kojetín, after its abolition it came back to Okres Přerov in 1960. Uhřičice was incorporated into Kojetín in 1976 as the Kojetín VII-Uhřičice district. Since 1990 Uhřičice has formed its own municipality again. When the March floods in 1997, the village was partially under water. Uhřičice has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1995. In 1998 the Maria Bell from Polkovice came back and was hung again in the tower of the town hall. In 2000 the place consisted of 210 houses and had 608 inhabitants. Ethnographically, the community belongs to Hanna . The locals call the village Uhřečice .
