Jarovce (German Croatian Jahrndorf , previously Croatian Jarendorf / Croatian Jándorf u. Ä., Hungarian Horvátjárfalu , Croatian Hrvatski Ja (h) ndrof ) is a place in western Slovakia and since January 1, 1972 a district of Bratislava . There are two border crossings between Austria ( Kittsee ) and Slovakia (Bratislava-Jarovce), including on the D4 motorway .
geography
The district is located south of the city center of Bratislava and has 1199 inhabitants on an area of 21.3 km² (2001). The population (2001) consists mainly of Slovaks and 20.4% Croatians . Smaller population minorities are Hungarians and Germans , as well as some Czechs . It is the only municipality in Slovakia where more than 20% of the population are Croatians.
history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1208, at that time there was a place called Ban in the area of today's place , in 1424 the name Jerendorf is mentioned for the first time . However, this place fell into disrepair in the 15th century when a plague epidemic raged in the western Danube Plain and, moreover, fights in the local area during a war between the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus and the German Emperor Friedrich III. were carried out. In the first half of the 16th century, Croatians immigrated and a settlement was formed, which was called Croatian village / Horváth falu . Germans and Hungarians came again in the 18th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, 80% Croatians, 17% Germans, and the rest were Hungarians. Until 1947 the village belonged to Hungary (most of the time in Wieselburg / Moson County ).
By 15 October 1947, the site was then together with the neighboring villages Čunovo and Rusovce by the Paris Peace Conference of Czechoslovakia awarded, according to the wishes of the Czechoslovak delegation to Bratislava bridgehead to increase for strategic reasons. It came into a joint administration with the neighboring town of Rusovce and only from August 9, 1950 the place became independent as part of the then existing Okres Bratislava-vidiek . Slovaks only came to the village after 1947 and the rest of the population was largely assimilated, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. Around 1950, some Germans from the neighboring town of Rusovce were also expelled to other parts of Slovakia as well as to Austria and Germany. The few Czechs came to Jarovce in connection with the border protection of Czechoslovakia.
Attractions
The most important sight in town is the town's bone chamber, the so-called Karner, and the Church of St. Nicholas (Roman Catholic) from 1765.
