Podgorica pri Črnučah (pronounced [ˈpoːdɡɔɾitsa pɾi tʃəɾˈnuːtʃax]; German: Podgoritz[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.[1] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]

Geography[]

Podgorica pri Črnučah is a sprawling settlement with a clustered core along the old road from Šentjakob ob Savi to Domžale nestled against the southeast slope of Podgorica Hill (Slovene: Podgoriški hrib, also Podgarški hrib, 375 m), which further transitions to Soteska Hill (Slovene: Soteški hrib, 406 m).[1][4] Fields lie northeast and southeast of the village, and the soil is sandy and fertile.[1]

Name[]

Podgorica pri Črnučah literally means 'Podgorica near Črnuče'; the name Podgorica is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection, composed of pod 'under' + gorica 'hill'. Like similar names (e.g., Podgorje), this describes the physical location of the settlement.[5] In the local dialect, the settlement is known as Podgarca.[1] Podgorica was renamed Podgorica pri Črnučah in 1953 to distinguish it from other settlements with the same name.[6] The settlement was known as Podgoritz in German in the past.[2]

History[]

Podgorica pri Črnučah was mentioned in written sources in 1300.[1][4] During the Second World War, seven people burned to death on August 9, 1944, when German forces attacked a house containing a Partisan checkpoint. A nuclear reactor operated by the Jožef Stefan Institute was built east of the village in 1965.[1] Podgorica pri Črnučah was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1984, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[6]
