History
The village of Bludovice (which was later known as Dolní Bludovice) was first mentioned in 1335. The division to Lower (Dolní/Dolne/Nieder) and Upper (Horní/Górne/Ober) developed in the 15th century. In 1450 duas Blandowicze willas were mentioned and finally Superiori Blauda is attested in 1485.[1]
