Brunngeräuth


German: Brunngeräuth // Gottscheerish: Prunngreit // Slovenian: Miklarji

Brunngeräuth was a Gottschee German settlement. It was founded as a hunting lodge belonging to the Auersperg noble family. The bandit known as "Brause from the Miklar Farm" once had a cabin in the area. The Partisan units in White Carniola set up their first camp in the forest outside the village in July 1941. In 1953 the Loka Hunting Club placed a memorial plaque on the wall of a house used by a forestry worker to commemorate two fallen soldiers. The house had been used in 1942 for convalescence for patients from the Partisans' Bobovec Hospital. In 1959 the Partisan Veterans Association renovated the dwelling used by the Partisans during the war and added another plaque to the house.
