Nemška Vas na Blokah (pronounced [ˈnéːmʃka ˈʋáːs na ˈblòːkax, - ˈblóː-]; German: Deutschdorf[2]) is a small village immediately north of Nova Vas in the Municipality of Bloke in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

Name

[edit]

Nemška Vas na Blokah was attested in historical sources as Theutstendorf in 1377 and Dewͤczendorff in 1427, among other spellings.[4] The name of the settlement was changed from Nemška vas to Nemška vas na Blokah in 1953.[5] Both the Slovene and German names of the village mean 'German village', referring to a settlement of ethnic Germans in what was otherwise Slovene ethnic territory.[6]
