Urschitz (Uhrschitz) Hutterite Bruderhof, located near Slavkov u Brna (German, Austerlitz), Moravia, founded about the middle of the 16th century by Hutterites brought in by Ulrich von Kaunitz. The commune was forcibly evacuated, rebuilt in 1569, plundered in 1618. In October 1622 the Brethren had to abandon Urschitz with empty hands; they settled in Hungary. This Bruderhof was commonly called Taufarsky.
