history
The first documentary mention of the village of Breczowicz belonging to Castle Frain took place on September 28, 1323, when King John of Luxembourg exchanged the sovereign castle together with the town of Jevíčko with Heinrich von Leipa for the town of Tachov . Contracts between Petr von Vracovice's widow Kunka and Přech von Kojetice from 1406 and 1407 suggest that Breczowicz was an independent estate at that time. When Arkle von Boskowitz acquired the rule of Frain from Albert Bítovský von Lichtenburg in 1515 , Breczowicz belonged again to the same. Just one year later the village was described as desolate. The repopulation took place in the middle of the 16th century by German farmers. During this time the village came to Neuhäusel Castle . According to tradition, there was only one tower left from the old village, from which the new place name Zum öden Turm or Ödenthurm developed.
In 1618 a fortress and a farm were mentioned in Ödenthurm . As a result of the destruction of Neuhäusel Castle in 1648, its property was added to the Frain rule. After the Thirty Years' War, Czech settlers returned to Ödenthurm , at which time the Czech share of the population was almost a third. Since 1671 the village was called Edenthurn . At the end of the 17th century the village was again almost exclusively inhabited by Germans. In 1680 Imperial Count Michael Johann von Althann acquired the Frain rule. Josef von Althann, who had owned the estate since 1774, got so deeply into debt with the renovation of Frain Castle that he went bankrupt in 1793. From this, Joseph Hilgartner Ritter von Lilienborn acquired the rule, he sold it in 1799 to Stanislaw Count Mniszek. In 1793, 287 people lived in Edenthurn . There is evidence of a school since 1812. In the 19th century the Czech place name Wracovicz emerged, which was derived from the extinct village of Breczowicz .
In 1834 the village Edenthurn or Wračowice consisted of 55 houses with 234 mostly German-speaking residents. There was a chapel and a school in the village. The parish was Fröschau . Edenthurn remained subject to the allodial rule of Frain and Neuhäusel Castle until the middle of the 19th century . The place of office was the Markt Frain.
After the abolition of patrimonial Edenthurn / Vračovice formed a municipality in the judicial district of Frain from 1849. In 1868 the village became part of the Znojmo region. In 1880 there were 237 Germans and eight Czechs living in the community; ten years later there were 248 Germans and 110 Czechs. Vracovice and Vrácovice were used as Czech place names at the time . The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1888. In 1910, 331 people lived in the 58 houses in Edenthurn, including 289 Germans and 39 Czechs. The residents all lived from agriculture, and there was also a distillery in the village.
After the First World War , the multi-ethnic state Austria-Hungary disintegrated , Edenthurn became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 . The Meierhof was abolished during the land reform of 1923 and an elementary school for the children of Czech farm workers was opened on the farm. In the course of the formation of the municipality of Schönwald , Edenthurn had to cede more than half of its castaster, including the pheasant farm and the extensive forest area around Šenkenberk Castle, to Schönwald in 1923 . Vracovice was established as the Czech place name in 1924 . In the same year a dairy cooperative was established. In the 1930 census, Edenthurn consisted of 52 houses and had 264 inhabitants, including 202 Germans and 54 Czechs. After the Munich Agreement , the village was occupied by German troops in 1938 and assigned to the German district of Znojmo . In 1939 Edenthurn was incorporated into Oberfröschau . After the end of the Second World War Vracovice came back to Czechoslovakia and again formed a community in Okres Znojmo . In June 1945, the German inhabitants of Vracovice were sold . During the municipal reform of 1960 Vracovice was again connected as a district to Horní Břečkov. In 1961 the village had 171 inhabitants. Since November 24, 1990, Vracovice has again formed its own municipality.
