history

Větřkovice is one of the few places whose foundation charter has been preserved. In 1298 the provost Lupus of the Benedictine monastery Březová ( Briesau ) left a piece of forest to a locator Walter and his heirs to found a village. This was not - as usual - named after the founder or the locator; in honor of the Olomouc canon Dietrich von Füllstein it was named Dyttreichsdorph ( Dětřichovice ). The resulting forest hoof village was exempt from taxes for 20 years. The locator received two Lahn , a third of the judicial atonement and the income from every seventh Lahn. He also received the right to a Kretscham and two mills as well as the settlement of a butcher, baker, cobbler, blacksmith and barber. The locator and the first settlers were Germans, later increasingly Czechs settled there.

Until the Hussite Wars , the village belonged to the Březová provostry. After their destruction by the Hussites in 1427, their estates were divided between the lords of Grätz and Fulnek , with Dittersdorf becoming subject to Grätz. From this time on, the owners were initially the Dukes of Troppau , and from 1535 the Grätz rule was separated from the Duchy of Troppau and pledged. In the Grätzer Urbar of 1574, only seven of the 44 landowners had German names. The village Jetřichovice was mentioned in the court documents, Větřichovice was mostly written in the registers . The oldest local seal dates from 1700 and shows a man with a scythe.

In 1834 Dittersdorf or Witrkowice consisted of 100 wooden houses in which 651 people lived. A third of the population was German-speaking. The main source of income was agriculture and animal husbandry. In the village there was a wooden branch church, an vomiting shop and a school run by the community. The forest mill ( Větřkovický mlýn ) was off the beaten track . The parish was Briesau. Between 1837 and 1841 a new church was built; after its completion, the old wooden church was demolished. Until the middle of the 19th century, Dittersdorf remained subordinate to the minority Grätz.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Dětřichovice / Dittersdorf 1849 a municipality in the judicial district Wigstadtl . From 1869 Dittersdorf belonged to the Troppau district. At that time the village had 736 inhabitants and consisted of 110 houses. In 1898 a parish was established. In 1900 there were 755 people in Jetřichovice / Dittersdorf, compared to 787 in 1910. Větřkovice has been used as a Czech place name since the beginning of the 20th century . In 1930 Dittersdorf consisted of 173 houses and had 754 inhabitants; In 1939 there were 742. According to the Munich Agreement , the majority Lachish-speaking community was assigned to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the district of Troppau until 1945 . In the same year Neu Würben was umgemeindet from Gerlsdorf to Dittersdorf. After the end of the Second World War, the community returned to Czechoslovakia and the German-speaking minority was expelled . In 1949 Větřkovice was assigned to the newly formed Okres Vítkov, which was repealed during the territorial reform of 1960. In 1950 the village had 584 inhabitants. The incorporation of Nové Vrbno, which was reversed after the Second World War, was carried out again in 1951. In 1961 Jelenice was incorporated .
