history

Weydnitz was first mentioned in writing on November 30, 1341, when Pertold von Leipa left the village and the farm and a house in Hostěradice to the knight Ješek . In 1367 Agnes, the mother-in-law of Lyček von Šlapanice, owned a Wittum in Wainitz . During the Hussite Wars , the Hussite faith spread in the village. In 1519 the village was called Witonicz . In 1548 Berchtold von Leipa sold the Witonicz estate to Jindřich Březnický von Náchod , who attached it to his Želetice estate. Later the Lords of Náchod combined the Witonicz estate with the Žerotice estate. In 1612 his descendant Georg Graf von Náchod Žerotice sold with Witonicz and other accessories to Zdenek Graf von Hoditz. Georg Ehrenreich von Zinzendorf and Pottendorf acquired the Žerotice estate from this in 1628 for 28,000 guilders. He sold it on May 24, 1630 to Alois von Galdiran; he was followed by his son Johann Peter Jakob von Galdiran, then his mother Meta Klara, née von Strahlendorf, and then her brother Wolfgang Leopold Freiherr von Strahlendorf. After his death, the widow Anna Katharina, née von Rostroschow, sold the estate to Johann Walderode von Eckhausen for her children for 18,000 Rhenish guilders on October 13, 1638. From 1641 the place was called Weidnitz . In 1643 Swedish troops ravaged the village. Johann Walderode sold the Zerotitz estate , which had been devastated as a result of the Thirty Years' War , to Arnold von Prailitt, whose widow Anna Kunigunde, née von Thimo, sold the estate to Kasimir von Blier. The changing owners were unable to restore the property to a profitable state. On January 20, 1677, his sons shared the inheritance, whereby the Zerotitz estate, described as ruined and onerous, went to the younger son Ferdinand Ernst. His son Max Ferdinand von Blier appointed his mother Martha, née Countess Braida, as heir on April 11, 1706 . On July 2, 1711, their siblings sold the Zerotitz estate, including the devastated village of Weignitz, for 66,000 Rhenish guilders to Franz Karl Berchtold , who combined it with his Selletitz estate .

In 1720, the first-wedded sons Franz Adam and Adam Ignaz von Berchtold jointly inherited the paternal property; the village was called Weinitz . After the division of the estate on November 23, 1722, the older of the brothers, Franz Adam von Berchtold, took over the allodial rule of Selletitz with the attached estates of Zerotitz and Domschitz . He died in the same year and left the rule to his underage son Prosper. From 1751 the village was called Weydnitz . Prosper von Berchtold sold the Selletitz estate with Zerotitz and Domschitz on December 31, 1755 for 150,000 Rhenish guilders to Maria Elisabeth. Countess of Waldorf . By inheritance on June 11, 1761, her son Ignaz took over the dominions Selletitz and Sadek with Roketnitz . In 1796, Count Ignaz von Waldorf appointed Franz Kajetan Count von Chorinsky as his heir on the condition that the goods should go to his brother Ignaz if he joined the Order of Malta . In 1809 the village was sacked by French troops. In 1816 a school was built. In 1828 a big fire broke out in the village. Numerous residents died in the nausea epidemic of 1831/32. On March 27, 1832, Friedrich Graf von Chorinsky inherited the Lords of Selletitz (with Zerotitz, Krepitz and Domschitz), Hostialkow and Wessely , the other Lordship of Brumow and the Sadek estate with Roketnitz from his father Franz Kajetan .

In 1834 the village of Wainitz or Wytonice consisted of 57 houses with 326 mixed-language residents. There was a school in the village. The parish was Proßmeritz , the official seat was Selletitz. In 1845 the lower parts of the village were flooded after a downpour. In the following year, another major fire broke out that destroyed 16 houses. Until the middle of the 19th century, Wainitz remained subject to the allodial rule of Selletitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Wainitz / Vitonice formed a municipality in the judicial district of Znojmo from 1849. In 1863 Viktor Graf von Chorinsky sold the goods Zerotitz and Selletitz including Wainitz to Friedrich Kammel von Hardegger. During the German War , Wainitz was sacked by Prussian troops in 1866, who also brought cholera into the village. In 1868 the municipality became part of the Znojmo District. In 1880 the community had 396 inhabitants, including 320 Czechs and 72 Germans. In 1889 a new school building was built and lessons were held in German. Most of the residents worked in the Selletitz sugar factory and on the estate there. In 1910 418 people lived in the 77 houses in Wainitz, 378 of them Germans and 40 Czechs. After the First World War , the multi-ethnic state of Austria-Hungary disintegrated , and in 1918 the municipality of Wainitz became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic . In 1924 the Czech place name was changed to Vítonice . In 1927 the village was electrified. In 1930 Wainitz consisted of 86 houses and had 422 inhabitants, including 308 Germans and 106 Czechs.
