One of the most recognised natives who brought fame to Moravské Kravařsko, as well as all of Moravia is, without a doubt, Johann Gregor Mendel. The founder of genetics and the man who discovered the laws of heredity was born in Hynčice u Vražného. He spent most of his life in Brno as a member of the Augustinian Order, and when he died, his requiem at the church was conducted by Leoš Janáček.
