Pristava pri Trebnjem (pronounced[pɾiˈstaːʋapɾiˈtɾeːbnjɛm],German:Pristawa (bei Treffen)[3][4]) is a formervillage in easternSlovenia in theMunicipality of Trebnje. It is now part of the town ofTrebnje. It is part of the traditional region ofLower Carniola and is now included in theSoutheast Slovenia Statistical Region.
Pristava pri Trebnjem stands west of the center of Trebnje. The houses in the settlement stand partially on a plain and partially on a terrace of theTemenica River above the railroad.[1][2] There are tilled fields at higher elevations in the settlement and meadows at lower elevations near the river.[2]
The name of the settlement was changed fromPristava toPristava pri Trebnjem in 1953 in order to distinguish it from other settlements with the same name.[5] The namePristava pri Trebnjem literally means 'manor farm near Trebnje'. The namePristava comes from the common nounpristava 'manor farm; house with outbuildings and land'. Manor farms were typically found near amanor house and were operated by servants of the manor. Settlements with this name and the semantically equivalentMarof are frequent in Slovenia.[6]
Archeological finds testify to settlement of the area during the Roman era. During excavation for new housing after the Second World War, Roman graves were found; they are believed to have been associated with the Roman colony ofPraetorium Latobicorum.[2]
Pristava pri Trebnjem was annexed by Trebnje in 1972, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5][7][8]
