History

The first written mention of Rostěnice is from 1141. Zvonovice was first mentioned in 1355. Rostěnice and Zvonovice were merged into one municipality in 1960.[3]

Until 1945, Rostěnice and Zvonovice 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 1945–1946, the German population was expelled and the municipality was resettled by Czech families.[3][4]
