Hlubočany (German: Hobitschau) is a municipality and village in Vyškov District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
The village of Terešov is an administrative part of Hlubočany.
Hlubočany is located about 5km (03miles) south of Vyškov and 26km (16miles) east of Brno. It lies in an agricultural landscape in the Litenčice Hills. The highest point is at 355m (1,165feet) above sea level.
The first written mention of Hlubočany is from 1141.[2]
Until 1945, Hlubočany and Terešov belonged to the German-speaking enclave called Vyškov Language Island. The area was colonized by German settlers in the second half of the 13th century. The coexistence of Czechs and Germans was mostly peaceful, which changed only after 1935, when many Germans tended to Nazism. In 1945, the German population was expelled and the municipality was resettled by Czech families.[2] [3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Hlubočany is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a rural house from the second half of the 19th century, which is evidence of the specific mud houses typical of this region.[4]
In the centre of Hlubočany is the Chapel of Saint Florian. It was built in 1935 on the site of an older Baroque chapel.[2] A small chapel is also in Terešov.
