Gaber

German: Gaber // Gottscheerish: Gabər // Slovenian: Gaber pri Črmošnjicah

Gaber was not mentioned in the land registries of 1574 or 1770, and so it was presumably founded relatively late. Before the Second World War, the village had three houses and a population of 13. The population worked as day laborers and cultivated fields near their houses. After the Gottschee Germans were evicted from the region in the fall of 1941, it was uninhabited. It was burned by the Italians during the Rog Offensive in the summer of 1942, leaving the ruins of four houses and several cisterns containing water unfit for drinking. The remaining hay fields were managed by the Črnomelj Collective Farm.
