Dunajská Lužná (Hungarian:Dénesdtorcsmisérd) is a municipality (village) in theBratislava Region of westernSlovakia inSenec District.
Dunajská Lužná lies approximately 15 km from the capital city ofBratislava towardsDunajská Streda andKomárno. It was founded on 1 January 1974 consisting of three formerly separate villages –Nové Košariská (German:Mischdorf,Hungarian:Misérd)[citation needed],Jánošíková (German:Schildern,Hungarian:Dénesd)[citation needed] andNová Lipnica (German:Tartschendorf,Hungarian:Torcs)[citation needed]. Dunajská Lužná belongs to the vicinity of Bratislava. There is increasing building activity because of new inhabitants coming from Bratislava or other cities.
Not far from the municipality towards Senec lie two lakes - Malá Voda and Piesková Jama. They are used for fishing and bathing and in summer months they are quite crowded. Near the township runs a dam, protecting the villages and townships all the way from Bratislava toGabčíkovo from flooding of theDanube River.
There is a largeRoman Catholic community in Dunajská Lužná with the Church, devoted to "The Elevation of the Holy Cross". BesidesRoman Catholics there are alsoLutherans and other religions.
The village crest showsSt. Martin of Tours.
The municipality of Dunajská Lužná is also well known in European archaeology for its burial mound which dates from around 700 - 500 BCE. During the archaeological survey in the "Nové Košariská" part of the municipality, a necropolis with fire-type burials and a central earth-grave was studied. Archaeogolists found richly decorated ceramic bins here, although only few metallic objects were retrieved.
The once three separate villages belonged to the German language area but the majority of the German population was expelled at the end ofWorld War II.[4]
In January 2004, a permanent exposition with the name "History and present of the municipality" was opened in Dunajská Lužná and it provides visitors with closer view of the past and present life of the Township.
