Primskovo (pronounced [ˈpɾiːmskɔʋɔ]; German: Primskau[2] or Primskou[3]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the city of Kranj.[4] Primskovo lies above the left bank of the Kokra River, connected to the center of Kranj by a bridge 28 m above the gorge of the river, offering an impressive view. The houses in Primskovo mingle with those of neighboring Klanec, also a former independent settlement.[1]

Name

[edit]

The name Primskovo is probably derives from an adjective form of the Slavic common noun *prijьmьskъ 'son-in-law that settles on the bride's farm', shortened from a longer name such as Prijьmьskovo selo/polje (literally, 'son-in-law's village/field'). It may also be derived from the (unconfirmed) nickname *Primъ, meaning 'Primъ's (village/field)'.[5] In the past the German name was Primskau[2] or Primskou.[3]

History

[edit]

The remains of a stronghold built for protection against Ottoman attacks are visible in Primskovo.[4] A primary school with four grades was established in the village in 1890.[1] Primskovo was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6][7][8]
