- Administrative/biographical history:
- From the Middle Ages, Hustopeče (Auspitz in German) was a significant commercial and trading centre of South Eastern Moravia. It was renowned above all for the local cattle markets in the 16th to 18th centuries. From the end of the 16th century to 1848 the town was within the property of the house of Liechtenstein, within the framework of the estate of Lednice. In 1787 a regulated municipality office was established in Hustopeče; after 1848 the town was an independent Political District. After 1849 Hustopeče came within the jurisdiction of the District Court in Hustopeče and the Hustopeče District Office, with the exception of the period of 1938-1945, when it was allocated to the Landrat of Mikulov. A Jewish community lived in Hustopeče briefly in the middle of the 17th century. After 1848 an emancipatory Jewish religious community was established here, which was destroyed during the holocaust.
