History & geography

History

The castle in Hodonín was founded sometime in the 11th century. However, the document from 1046 which was the oldest mention of the castle, is demonstrably a forgery. The first written credible mention of Hodonín is from 1169. In 1228, it became a town. During the Thirty Years' War the town was severely damaged and the population decreased. In the 18th century a local castle was rebuilt to a tobacco factory, whose production helped repopulate the town. The railway to Hodonín was built in 1841, and extended to Holíč in 1891. Hodonín was the first town in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to be liberated from Nazi Germany occupation at the end of World War II. The battle for the town that was part of the Bratislava–Brno offensive, began on 11 April 1945, after the Red Army captured the nearby Holíč. Soviet troops crossed the Morava River and advanced toward Hodonín, supported by fighter planes that had already bombed German defenses and retreating units in the area. After approximately 24 hours of fighting, Soviet forces overcame the German resistance, and by 8 p.m. on 12 April, the town was fully liberated. The northern part of the municipal territory (especially the locality of Pánov, a retirement home and the Hodonín Zoo) was severely damaged by the 2021 South Moravia tornado.

Geography
