Dolní Tošanovice (Polish:Toszonowice Dolne,German:Nieder Toschonowitz) is a municipality and village inFrýdek-Místek District in theMoravian-Silesian Region of theCzech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
The name ispatronymic in origin derived from personal nameTosz. It was variably subscribed in the historical documents:Tessinowitz (1305),Thusnowitz (1316),Tossinowicze (1445),Tossonowicze (1447, 1693),Toschonowitz (1523),Tossynowicze (1536, 1627),na Tossenowiczych (1703),Toschonowice (1724). In the 18th century the distinction between two villages developed. In 1736 both were mentioned asNieder Toschonowitz andOber Toschonowitz (literally "Lower" and "Upper";Dolní andHorní in Czech).[2]
Dolní Tošanovice is located about 9 kilometres (6 mi) east ofFrýdek-Místek and 19 km (12 mi) southeast ofOstrava. It lies in the historical region ofCieszyn Silesia, in theMoravian-Silesian Foothills.
The first written mention of Tošanovice is in a Latin document ofDiocese of Wrocław calledLiber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from 1305. The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known asUpper Silesia.[3]
Politically the village belonged initially to theDuchy of Teschen. In 1327 the duchy became afee of theKingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of theHabsburg monarchy.
AfterRevolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modernmunicipal division was introduced in the re-establishedAustrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed to thepolitical andlegal district ofCieszyn. According to the censuses conducted in 1880–1910, the population of the municipality dropped from 856 in 1880 to 794 in 1910 with a majority being native Czech-speakers (83.6% in 1880, later between 62.4% and 63.9%) accompanied by a Polish-speaking minority (13.9% in 1880, later between 34.6% and 37.4%) and German-speaking (at most 21 or 2.5% in 1880). In terms of religion in 1910 the majority wereRoman Catholics (76.1%), followed byProtestants (23.9%).[4]
AfterWorld War I,Polish–Czechoslovak War and the division ofCieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part ofCzechoslovakia. Following theMunich Agreement, in October 1938 together with theTrans-Olza region it was annexed byPoland, administratively adjoined toCieszyn County ofSilesian Voivodeship.[5] It was then annexed byNazi Germany at the beginning ofWorld War II. After the war it was restored toCzechoslovakia.
