At the southwest end of the village there are remains of the old Slavic castle Dolní Mejlice, which is attributed to the Great Moravian Empire .

history

Around 1720 individual houses were built on the site of the village. In 1763, the Olomouc bishop Maximilian von Hamilton left clearing land to his lordly loggers to found a village that initially consisted of six houses and was named Kopčany . In 1766 the village had grown to 21 houses. The place was later referred to as Grünberg .

After the replacement of patrimonial Kopčany / Grünberg formed from 1850 a district of Pustiměř in the district administration Vyškov . The place name Zelená Hora has also been used since the second half of the 19th century . In 1880 Kopčany or Zelená Hora formed an independent municipality. Since 1921 the municipality has had the official name Zelená Hora . During the German occupation in 1940, it was decided and carried out to expand the Wischau firing range into a large military training area for the Wehrmacht . 33 villages had to be cleared for the implementation of the extensive construction work on the Wischau military training area. In the first stage, until October 31, 1941, this also affected Grünberg. At that time the village had 521 inhabitants and consisted of 93 houses. The two windmills on the Nad Bochtálem hill on the eastern edge of the village were demolished in 1941. After the end of the Second World War , residents began to settle in the community again from June 1945. In the 1960s it was incorporated into Pustiměř. As a result of the re-establishment of the Czech state through the collapse of Czechoslovakia , the municipality of Zelená Hora was re-established as an independent administrative unit in 1990.
