history
The Roketnice Valley has been inhabited since the Upper Paleolithic . Four settlements of arable farmers and shepherds from the Neolithic were found in the corridors of the community . Other finds are to be assigned to the bell beaker culture , Aunjetitz culture and Middle Danube barrow culture. The most important site comes from the Late Bronze Age . In 1924, Přemysl Ondráček discovered a cremation grave in the Zadní půllány corridor near Maxlůvka, which was probably laid out as a barrow. The cultural group Velatická kultura was named after this find . More recent finds can be assigned to the Kritschen and Horákov cultures. Another settlement was built around 400 BC. From the beginning of the era until the Great Migration, Germanic tribes settled here . A large burial mound was discovered at the Žuráň hill in 1853 with some originally richly decorated graves from the time of the Great Migration, which were looted soon after their construction. Between 1948 and 1950 there was a partial investigation of the grave site on the Žuráň. It was found that members of the upper class of a Germanic tribe are buried in the graves. The early historian Josef Poulík from Brno assumes that the 14 m high burial mound, built at the end of the 5th and beginning of the 6th centuries, is the burial place of the Lombard Duke Wacho , who died around 539 . Some other historians suspect that it was the burial place of the Herulian tribal prince Rudolf .
The first written mention of the village was in a deed of donation issued on May 30, 1288 by the Bohemian King Wenceslas II to the chief clerk of Moravia, Veleslav. In 1321 Velatice belonged to Queen Elisabeth Richza , who donated the village in 1323 to the Cistercian monastery Aula Sanctae Mariae in Altbrno, which she founded. During the Hussite Wars , a battle took place around Šlapanice on May 17, 1430, in which the Hussites were defeated. After Moravia did not recognize Georg von Podiebrad as the administrator of the country, his henchman Jan von Boskowitz invaded the area in 1449 . In 1468 and 1469, Velatice was visited twice by the troops of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus .

On December 21, 1798, the Russian general Suvorov occupied the area of Šlapanice with 24,000 men . The Russians camped here until January 9, 1799 and used up all of the residents' supplies; after their departure an emergency broke out. In the days before the Battle of Austerlitz , Velatice was sacked by French troops at the end of 1805. In 1809 the French moved through the village again. In 1819 Franz Ritter von Freienfels bequeathed the villages of Wellatitz and Bosenitz to Count Eduard Belcredi. In 1834 Velatice consisted of 43 houses and had 260 inhabitants.
