history

The village was first mentioned in writing in 1167 in a deed of donation by Duke Otto I , in which the latter left the villages of Pamětice , Vážany and Říkovice - including the addition of all Moravian villages of Count Bavor - to the Premonstratensian monastery Litomyšl . There is evidence of a Vladikehof in Vážany since 1373 . For further settlement of the Kninitz forest, the abbot Robert left the forests at the Skřípova brook, over whose ownership the monastery had previously had a long dispute with Herrmann von Letovice , to Velič and Štedroň von Uhřice. They founded the village of Veličina Lhota east of Vážany, which died out again during the Hussite Wars . In 1511 the brothers Jiřík and Václav Kolesa von Rakov sold the corridors of the desert village of Lhota to Vážany. In 1556 Vážany was exempted from robotic duty. At the end of the 16th century the monastery Hradisko Vážany acquired and added the village to the Šebetov rule . In 1626, a peasant uprising broke out in the Knínice district and some subjects from Vážany refused to do the labor required by the monastery. The dispute was by Emperor Ferdinand III. decided in favor of the monastery and executed two of the rebels. At the end of the Thirty Years War the Swedes plagued the area and raised regular contributions until December 1648. On the basis of the payments, the Swedish commander of the Olomouc Fortress, Valentin Wientir, issued a Salva Guardia for Vážany . This document protected the village from looting by Swedish troops. As a result of the letter of protection, Vážany was one of the few villages in Moravia that had no desolate properties after the end of the war. In 1662 a new farm was built in Vážany, to which five properties with a total of 194 bushels of land were subordinated. In 1663, the monastery put down renewed attempts at freedom in Vážany. After the abolition of the monastery in the course of the Josephine reforms, its goods fell to the religious fund in 1784. After Emperor Joseph II had allowed the practice of the Helvetian religion again in his tolerance patent in 1781 , Protestant families who had emigrated from Bohemia and Moravia after the battle of the White Mountain returned . In 1825 Karl Graf Strachwitz bought the Šebetov estate, which consisted of twelve villages. His son Moritz Graf Strachwitz inherited the property in 1837.

After the abolition of patrimonial Vážany formed from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Boskovice . Between 1860 and 1865 the Karl Octavius ​​estates belonged to Lippe-Weißenfeld . In 1865 the Counts of Strachwitz briefly became the owners of the Šebetov estates again. In the course of foreclosure in the same year, the Viennese factory owner Johann May bought the property, which he then sold to Moritz von Königswarter in 1877 . In 1900 the community had more than 350 inhabitants. During the German occupation, Vážany was assigned to the Political District of Boskowitz between 1941 and 1945 . After the end of the war, the community was initially again part of the Okres Moravská Třebová and in 1949 again assigned to the Okres Boskovice. At the beginning of 1961 Vážany was assigned to the Okres Blansko . Between 1976 and 1990 the village was incorporated into Knínice u Boskovic .
