history

View of Frainersdorf, 1938

In the 17th century, the inn "To the golden crown" stood on the site of today's village. In the following years, a Meierhof of the Frainer estate was also built there . The place itself was right on the language border. In 1786 the rulership's land was distributed to German settlers who founded Frainersdorf. The “ui” dialect (Bavarian-Austrian) spoken by the inhabitants until 1945 with their special Bavarian passwords indicates that the settlers came from southern Germany and Austria. The manor house was converted into a pottery factory in 1874, which gave the town economic support. There was also kaolin mining in town. The district of Fischhäusel ( Hostěrádky ), which was already known in the 14th century, but then became deserted , belonged to Frainersdorf . Only later, when Frainersdorf was being rebuilt, the Fischhäusel was rebuilt. Fischhäusel itself did not belong to the Frain rule, but to the Frischau rule . During the Revolutionary Wars, French troops marched through Frainersdorf. Most of the inhabitants lived from agriculture.

After the First World War and the Treaty of Saint-Germain , 1919, the place, which was 90% inhabited by German Moravians , became part of the new Czechoslovak Republic . In the interwar period , new settlers and newly appointed officials increased the influx of people of Czech nationality. The German-Moravian population had fallen to 56% by the 1930 census. In 1936 the local branch of the NSDAP was founded. Tensions also arose within the country. With the threat of armed conflict, the Western powers caused the Czechoslovak government to cede the German-speaking peripheral areas, which were regulated in the Munich Agreement of 1938, to Germany. Thus, on October 1st, Frainersdorf became part of the German Reichsgau Niederdonau . The local history reports that the Czech minority largely moved to other places during the Second World War.

After the end of the Second World War , the community came back to Czechoslovakia on May 8, 1945. After deduction of the Red Army the place was occupied by militant Czechs and the entire German Moravian population across the border to Austria sold . Two civilians were killed in the post-war excesses. A legal processing of the events did not take place. The Beneš Decree 115/1946 ( Law on Exemption from Punishment ) declares actions up to October 28, 1945 in the struggle to regain freedom ..., or which aimed at just retribution for the acts of the occupiers or their accomplices ... not unlawful. All private and public property of the German local residents was confiscated by the Beneš decree 108 and the Catholic Church was expropriated during the communist era . The Czech Republic has not made amends .

The majority of the Frainersdorfer in Austria were transferred to Germany in accordance with the transfer goals of the Potsdam Protocol .

Vranovská Ves is one of the places around Znojmo where ceramic goods were produced until after the Second World War due to the abundance of clay.

The registers from 1713 to 1949 are in the Brno State Archives.

Coat of arms and seal

A seal of the place is known from the 18th century. It shows a plow iron with a bird sitting on it. In the second half of the 19th century, Frainersdorf only had one non-image stamp. The place had no coat of arms , but you can find the family coat of arms of the landlord Count de Souches from 1678 on boundary stones.

Legends from the place

A large number of old wives' tales circulated among the displaced German residents:

• A resident of the place is said to have entered into a relationship with the devil. She also had a chest with the devil's belongings in it. One day the devil strangled the woman, after which she became ill and soon died. With her death the devil disappeared from the place.
• The body of St. Donatus was brought from Znojmo to Prague in a horse and cart. When the vehicle rolled past the church in Paulitz, however, the wagon suddenly stopped. Despite great efforts, the two horses could no longer move the wagon. When the carter asked the pastor of the church for advice, he said: "Let us put the saint in our church!" When the saint's body was unloaded, the wagon was able to start moving again. Since then, the body of St. Donatus has been kept in the church in a side altar.

Other legends are:

• The glowing broomstick and screaming witches in burning smocks
• There G'schloßbere with the full barrels of wine
• The South Moravian Melusine
• A rascal instead of St. Barbara in the cherry tree
