history
The place is one of the youngest in the Brno area. At the beginning of the 18th century there was a nameless potion in its place. 1775 existed at the crossroads between Rosice , Ivančice , Náměšť nad Oslavou and Velká Bíteš the excursion business "Zastawka".
The real history of the village began with the discovery of the hard coal deposits in the Rossitz-Oslawan Basin. On September 23, 1769, the first coal was found in the area of Zastávka. After the prospecting concession issued on August 3, 1787 by the Rossitz domain office to the Imperial and Royal Canal Construction and Mining Directorate in Vienna, coal mining began in the Marienthal at the Schodowa colliery one year later. In 1801 Ferdinand Thomoser acquired the mining rights and two years later sold them to the Brno wholesaler Johann Herring . In 1803 he founded the mining company Ritter Herring u. Comp . In 1825 there was only one chaluppe apart from the Zastawka inn . Around 1840 a settlement of about 50 inhabitants had emerged.
The mining engineer Ferdinand Rittler, who previously worked in the Silesian coal field, introduced new mining methods; as a result, the coal mines in the Rossitz district became the most modern in the monarchy. On the initiative of Ernst Johann Ritter Herring and the mining entrepreneur Anton Rahn from Zbeschau, the private Brno-Rossitz railway company was founded, which began in 1852 with the construction of the Brno - Strelitz - Rossitz - Blessing of God railway line . In the same year the Herring coal mine started operations. In 1853 a miners' settlement was established, the old settlement. In 1855 the railway line was completed; on January 2, 1856, the first coal train drove via Brno to Vienna and on July 1, 1856 passenger traffic was started. Between 1859 and 1862 Johann Ernst von Herring had the Rossitz ironworks built in God's blessing. The ironworks, which was fired with coal from the local mines, contributed to the further upswing of the company. In addition to Herring, several Brno textile manufacturers as well as the Belgians Gabriel Alfons Fürst Chimay, Jean Débatty and Alfred Devalle were among the shareholders of the iron works. The hut settlement was built for the smelters in 1862 and the new settlement for the miners of the Julius colliery in 1872. The first school was inaugurated in 1865.
In 1870 the Ritter Herring u. Comp renamed to Rossitzer Bergbaugesellschaft in Blessing God . On September 5, 1875, the municipality Segen Gottes (Boží Požehnání), which got its name from the Segen-Gottes colliery, was created by outsourcing the corridors of Babitz, Rossitz and Pschibram. In 1880, 1145 people lived in God's blessing. In 1881 the Rossitzer Bergbau AG bought the mines of the Inneberger Gesellschaft in the southern district near Zbeschau and Oslawan and with the exception of the mine Liebe Gottes near Zbeschau owned all the coal works in the Rossitz-Oslawan basin. The ironworks was sold to a Mannheim company in 1906 and became part of the Strebelwerke. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the community of God's blessing (Boží Požehnání) was renamed Zastávka in 1920. In 1921 the place had 1630 inhabitants. The Revierbrüderkasse building was built in 1924 and the miners' house opposite. The Zastávka miners took part in the general miners' strikes of 1920 and 1932/33. In 1954 the Ferdinand colliery was closed and the Julius colliery in 1967. This ended the mining era in Zastávka and in 1992 mining was stopped in the entire area.
