Kľačno (until 1948 Slovak "Gajdel"; German Gaidel , Hungarian Nyitrafő - until 1907 Gajdel ) is a municipality in the west of Slovakia , with a population of 1,077 (December 31, 2019) and is located in prievidza district , which the Trenčín Region belongs.
geography
The municipality belonging to the historical Hauerland is located in the Hornonitrianska kotlina basin , which juts out from the south, surrounded by the mountains Žiar in the east, Little Fatra in the north and Strážovské vrchy in the west. The Nitra River rises to the north of the town and flows through Kľačno on its way south. The center of the village is 17 kilometers from Prievidza and 44 kilometers from Žilina .
history
The place was created as part of the German colonization in the Kingdom of Hungary , which reached its peak after the Mongol storm in 1241. In a document from 1413 the place is mentioned as Geidel , which belonged to the estate of Weinitz . The main occupations were gold mining, forestry and agriculture, since modern times various trades have replaced vanishing gold mining. In the 16th century Gaidel achieved the status of a town, but afterwards it was affected by wars and ever-changing loyalty between the Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches. In 1828 there are 254 houses and 1774 inhabitants, the majority of them Germans. In 1940 the place had 2,297 inhabitants. 18 partisans were killed in skirmishes during the Slovak National Uprising . In 1945 the majority of the inhabitants were evacuated by the Wehrmacht , which then almost completely destroyed the village. After the end of the war they returned, but the majority were first sent to the assembly camp in Nováky and then expelled to Germany. The almost empty village was then repopulated by Slovaks, but did not regain its former population.
