history

St. Jacob Church

Velký Újezd ​​was probably founded together with Potštát and Vítkov in the 12th century during the Slavic expansion of the land in the Oder Mountains . From the original floor plan it can be seen that the place was already laid out as a market settlement. The name Újezd proves that the village was founded by means of a ride around . There are no references to the founder of the place.

The first written evidence of the parish Ugez belonging to the Deanery of Leipnik dates from an entry in the Moravian land table to 1301. Siffridus de Ugez is the first owner of the place between 1324 and 1352 , who also worked as a maltster in Libavá and according to his coat of arms was related by blood to the Lords of Sovinec . He was probably followed by one of his six sons. From 1364 the place was called Ugezd Magnum . In 1371 Margrave Johann Heinrich Puta von Hohlenstein enfeoffed with Ugezd Magnum . Since Puta remained childless, fell the Lehn home and was passed to Wenzel von Doloplas 1,381th He bought several surrounding goods, which he connected to Ugezd Magnum . Ugezd Magnum was first referred to as a town in 1384 . In 1406 Wenceslaus von Doloplas sold the rule with the villages Kozlov, Smolné, Staměřice , Čermná , Svrčov, Stiboř and Neplachov to Lacek von Krawarn on Helfenstein . In 1447 the place was called Ugezd Wolawy , 1480 as Volavý Újezd , from 1510 as Svrchní Újezd or Vrchní Újezd and from 1548 as Horní Aujezd .

The subsequent owners of the Helfensteiner estates included Wok von Sovinec from 1447, Albrecht Kostka von Postupitz from 1467 and Wilhelm II von Pernstein from 1474 . In 1545, Johann von Pernstein sold twelve villages belonging to Horní Aujezd to Erasmus von Bobolusk. This was followed by Georg von Zástřizl from 1556 , Ulrich and Christoph von Kaunitz from 1566 and Wenzel von Ludanitz from 1569, who expanded Horní Aujezd into his dominion center. After his death, Wenzel Podstatzky von Prusinowitz auf Potštát in 1573 sold out the property of the underage sole heiress Katharina von Ludanitz at a favorable price. From 1593 he was followed by his son Tas and his grandson Christoph Karl. The oldest local seal dates from 1637 and bears the inscription PECIET HORNIHO AUGEZDA . In 1644 Christoph Karl's firstborn son Georg Valerian inherited the rule. He settled the town, which was deserted during the Thirty Years' War and burned down by the Swedes in 1642, with subjects from his other possessions, Bartošovice , Zlín , Stará Ves and Slavkov . After the war, Velký Újezd ​​consisted of 28 long-established and 170 new church members. During the Turkish invasions of 1663 and 1683, the inhabitants of the town fled into the forests of the Oder Mountains. The next owner was from 1688 Franz Dominik Podstatzky von Prusinowitz, who was raised to the rank of count in 1707. At the beginning of the 18th century he approved the expansion of the town, whereby the local situation Zákostelí was created. The registers were kept in Osek nad Bečvou from 1693 and on site from 1737. Further forms of the name were Hrubý Augezd (from 1671), Augezd (from 1676), Groß Augest (1751), Augezda (1771), Groß Augezd (from 1794) and Gross or Ober Augezd (1798).

From 1721 the rule belonged to the brothers Karl Maximilian and Franz Valerian Podstatzky von Prusinowitz and from 1743 to the brothers Franz Karl and Leopold Anton Podstatzky von Prusinowitz. They had the parish rebuilt in 1744, which also included the villages of Kozlov, Ranošov and Staměřice. At the same time they gave the place a new statute as a town. Veselíčko Castle, built according to plans by the Olomouc diocesan architect Johann Anton Krzaupal von Grünenberg, was the new seat of the rulership between 1768 and 1771 . From 1776 the brothers Joseph Franz Podstatzky von Prusinowitz and Alois Ernst Podstatzky-Liechtenstein followed as owners of the estate. The latter had inherited his cousin Count Franz Anton von Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn on Telč in 1762 on condition that the name and coat of arms of the Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn be connected with those of the Podstatský-Prusinowitz.

In 1777 there were around 600 inhabitants in the 77 houses in the town. In 1782 the imperial road between Velký Újezd ​​and Staměřice was laid out. Leopold Franz Graf Podstatzky-Liechtenstein was the owner of the estate from 1793, and in 1796 he moved his seat from Veselíčko to Telč Castle . After his early death in 1813 his widow Maria Theresia Podstatzky-Liechtenstein, née Kolowrat -Krakowsky, and from 1828 his eldest son Leopold Karl inherited the rule. In 1832 he had the church cemetery, including the family burial, closed and a new one built east of the town. At the same time he had a new family vault made under the church. Until the middle of the 19th century, Velký Újezd ​​always remained a media town subject to the rule of Veselíčko, owned by the Podstatzky-Liechtenstein counts.

After the abolition of patrimonial Hrubý Augezd / Groß Augezd formed from 1850 with the districts Kozlov and Ranošov a market town in the district administration Mährisch Weißkirchen and the judicial district Leipnik . In 1855 the market was assigned to the Leipnik district, from 1868 it belonged again to the Mährisch Weißkirchen district. Velký Újezd ​​was used as the Czech place name from 1872 and Großujezd as the German place name from 1906 . Kozlov broke up in 1894 and formed its own community; as Ranošov in 1905. After the Munich Agreement remained Velký Újezd at the "Resttschechei" and was right on the border of the German Reich, to whose territory or Mountain had been slammed shut. During the German occupation from 1939 to 1945, the place was called Gross Aujest . On April 19, 1945, the Gestapo and the Vlasov Army interrogated and tortured 23 men arrested during the Zákřov operation in the courtyard of the town hall, 19 of them were taken across the border into the Sudetenland and in the Oder Mountains during the massacre on April 20 murdered by Kianitz . In the course of the abolition of the Okres Hranice, Velký Újezd ​​was assigned to the Okres Olomouc in 1960. In 1974 Daskabát was incorporated . In 1990 Daskabát broke away from Velký Újezd ​​and formed its own community. At the end of the 1990s, the R 35 expressway was built south of the town . The community has had a coat of arms since 1996; the silver deer antlers and the golden lion are borrowed from the coat of arms of Christoph Karl Podstatzky von Prusinowitz, the scallop symbolizes the local saint. On April 12, 2007, Velký Újezd's status, which had been repealed in 1957, was renewed as Městys.
