history
The first written mention of the Uhrzicz estate was in 1336 as the property of Vrchoslav de Uhrzicz. In 1355 the village was called Uhrcziecz . On January 22, 1371, Margrave Johann Heinrich Půta von Hohlenstein enfeoffed the Vhrzecz estate . The existence of a mill and a courtyard is recorded from 1398. Other forms of the name were Vherzce (1407), Uhrzecz (1512) and Uhercze (1588). The fortress probably originated in the 15th or 16th century. The owners of the estate changed frequently. In the years 1612 and 1635 the fortress was first recorded in writing as the property of the Žalkovský of Žalkovice. Susanne Countess von Gellhorn had the fortress converted into a castle in 1728. At that time, the Uhercze estate included a brewery and malt house, the manorial tavern, a sheep farm as well as a mill and a forge. In 1810, Ignaz Friedrich von Friedrichstätt acquired the property in the course of a public auction. Uhřice always remained an independent allodial property until the middle of the 19th century .
After the abolition of patrimonial Uhřice / Uhrczitz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Kroměříž. After the von Friedrichstätt family died out, the Count Jenison zu Walworth inherited the estate in 1853. Friedrich Graf Jenison left the site of the former brewery to the community in 1882 on condition that they were exempted from all maintenance costs for the teachers and the school fees for building a school. In 1926, a new school building was inaugurated for three-class classes. On December 19, 1944, an aerial battle broke out over Uhřice, in which the Air Force attacked a US bomber formation from Proßnitz airfield , which had started to bomb Vienna . The US planes released their bombs. Two of them hit Uhřice and killed two women and their six children. On May 1, 1945 the village was captured by the Romanian army. Between 1945 and 1948 the large Uhřice estate was parceled out. At the beginning of 1961, Uhřice was merged with Prasklice to form a municipality Uhřice-Prasklice . This dissolved again on January 1, 1992.
