history

Evangelical Church Suchdol

Zauchtel was probably founded at the beginning of the 13th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1257. At that time it was already a parish and belonged to the Moravian rule Fulnek, which was owned by the Smil von Lichtenburg . After the establishment of the Duchy of Opava , it was incorporated into it. In 1337 it was called Cuchenthal and in 1430 as Zauchenthal . Together with Fulnek, it was acquired by the Bohemian King George of Podebrady in 1464 . His sons sold the property to the Utraquist John of Žerotín in 1475 . He promoted the settlement of the Zauchtel area, which he had transferred from the Troppauer to the Moravian land table in Olomouc . In 1515 Zauchtel was incorporated into the Kunewald manor , with which it remained connected until 1848.

In 1584 Johann Balthasar von Czettritz ( Zedritz von Kinsberg / Četrys z Kinšperka ) acquired Zauchtel and Kunewald. During his reign, both places developed into a center of the German-speaking brotherhood movement . From 1604 to 1614 the Trinity Church was built in Zauchtel, which was one of the largest Protestant parish houses. Johann Balthasar von Czettritz was involved in the Bohemian class uprising , but died in 1621 without descendants. His property came to his sister Judith, who was married to Moritz von Redern . He carried out a rigorous re-Catholicization of his subjects and in 1622/23 banned the services of the Bohemian brothers. The Trinity Church was now used as a Catholic place of worship. As a result, some of the residents left the place. The remaining residents largely carried on the brotherhood tradition in secret. After the persecution of faith intensified, numerous residents emigrated to Herrnhut in Upper Lusatia in Saxony in 1724 . Among them was the co-founder and later bishop of the Moravian Brethren , David Nitschmann . A Catholic parish was built for the residents who stayed behind in 1730, and the parsonage was rebuilt according to plans by the architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt . Nevertheless, in 1782, after the tolerance patent issued by Emperor Joseph II , around 75% of the residents of Zauchtel described themselves as Herrnhut. This was followed by a Lutheran congregation in 1783, which built its own church in the 19th century. Up until 1945, more than half of the residents of Zauchtel professed their Protestant faith. Since 1806 Zauchtel owned the Walburga Waldburg-Zeil , which was married to Clemens Waldburg-Zeil-Lustenau-Hohenems . She is said to have been a charitable landlady and died in 1828.

The mining of lead and silver was of economic importance in the 17th century and stopped at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1798/99 vaccinations against the leaves were successfully carried out in Zauchtel , which was the first vaccination campaign in the Habsburg monarchy . An economic boom followed in 1847 with the connection to the Leipnik - Oderberg railway line . In 1895 Zauchtel received the first Moravian home economics school for women workers. Around 1900 Zauchtel had around 2100 inhabitants, only a few Czechs.

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the Chlumecký-Bauer family, which belonged to the Kunewald estate, was expropriated. In 1921 Zauchtel received the official place name Suchdol . As a result of the Munich Agreement , it was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Neu Titschein district until 1945 . After the Second World War, the German residents were expelled . The resettlement of Suchdol took place predominantly with Slovaks and Volhynientschechen . Since 1959 the official place name is Suchdol nad Odrou .
