history
Uhricic was first mentioned in a document in 1220, when Ottokar I Přemysl gave the village to Konrad Graf von Hardegg . At that time there was already a church in Uherčice that belonged to the Benedictine monastery Vilémov. In 1267 the village was named Hursit and in 1340 Aurcicz . During the Hussite Wars , the Vilémov Benedictines fled to Uherčice. They established a provost and abbot seat in Uherčice. In 1459 the place was handed down as Určice and in 1496 the current name Uherčice was first used. The last abbot Peter was driven out of Uherčice by Protestants. He fled to Rajhrad Abbey , where he died in 1541. The oldest local seal dates from 1555, it shows a vine knife. In 1836 1015 people lived in the 175 houses of the market town.
After the abolition of patrimonial Uherčice / Auerschütz formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Auspitz . After the regulation of the Svratka, the place expanded to the right bank of the river, where the location Trávník arose. In 1930 the village consisted of 280 houses and had 1210 inhabitants, most of whom belonged to the Czech ethnic group. After the district town of Auspitz and the southern neighboring towns were added to the German Reich in 1938 as a result of the Munich Agreement , Uherčice was on the German border. The market town of Uherčice was then assigned to the political district Brno-Land and the judicial district Židlochovice until 1945 . After the end of the Second World War, the Okres Hustopeče was restored. After its abolition in 1960, Uherčice belongs to the Okres Břeclav . In the 2001 census, the place had 1,021 inhabitants.
