history

The church in its present form is still relatively young. It emerged in 1990 from the community of Zádielske Dvorníky , which had existed since 1964 , when the village of Zádiel was separated from the community and has since been an independent community again.

Dvorníky

Dvorníky was first mentioned in 1314 as Udvarniky . Finds of ceramic shards in the area around Dvorníky show that people settled there as early as the Neolithic Age. From the second half of the 13th century, the residents of Dvorníkys and other surrounding villages were subjects of the lords of the Tornau Castle ( Turňa nad Bodvou municipality ). In 1567 there were ten Hungarian-speaking farming and winemaking families, in 1828 Dvorníky already had 89 houses.

Včeláre was first mentioned in a document in 1345 as Mehes (Hungarian for beekeeper ) and was already predominantly settled by Hungarians. From the 14th to the 16th century, the village was owned by noble families living in the area. In 1598 there were six farmhouses, in 1828 there were 25 houses.

According to the First Vienna Arbitration , Dvorníky and Včeláre also belonged to the Hungarian Abaúj County from 1938 to 1945 .

Economy and Infrastructure

The community has retained its rural character. The residents work in agriculture, in the service sector or commute to nearby industrial plants. The village has a grocery store, library, kindergarten and elementary school. The largest employer in the municipality, however, is a building materials company that was established in the south-east of the municipality in the early 1960s. Its towers, silos, heaps and conveyor belts can be seen for miles. The company's product range still includes cement, precast concrete parts and mixtures for road construction. The operation provided the prerequisites for the construction of the East Slovak steel works ( Východoslovenské železiarne , today US Steel Košice ). When the first blast furnace was blown there in 1965, the prefabricated parts of the building materials company were also used to create the prefabricated buildings for the workers' town of Šaca near the steelworks. The basic material for production is sand-lime brick, which is mined in the quarry immediately south of Včeláre, among other places.

Transport links

The Turňatal , which runs in a west-east direction, has always been predestined for the construction of nationally important traffic routes to and from Košice . For example, trunk road 50 (here also part of European route 58 ) runs through the area of ​​the municipality Dvorníky-Včeláre from Košice via Rožňava to Bratislava and the Košice-Barca-Rožňava railway line .
