Mengeš
Mengeš (; ''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 28.) is a town in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Mengeš. It is located approximately fifteen kilometers from the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. It includes the hamlets of Zavrti, Veliki Mengeš (), Mali Mengeš (), and Pristava. Name Mengeš was first attested in written sources in 1154–56 as ''Meingosburg'' (and as ''Mengospurch'' in 1214–20, ''Mengozesburc'' in 1226, and ''Meingospurch'' in 1243). The Slovene name is a clipped form of Middle High German ''Meingos(purch)'', which is a compound of ''Meingoz'' (a personal name) + ''purch'' 'castle', thus meaning 'castle belonging to Meingoz'. In the past the German name was ''Mannsburg''. Church The parish church in the town is dedicated to Archangel Michael. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
