geography

history
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1294 as Parva Lompnicha and was founded under German law. He remained a place of subjects until the end of feudalism in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 19th century. In 1785 Lomnička separated from the mother parish Toporec and built its own church. There was a Protestant and a Catholic church, as well as two schools. In 1828 Lomnička had 161 houses and 1160 inhabitants and was characterized by agriculture. Most of the village burned down in 1813 and 1867. In 1873 many residents became victims of cholera. In 1880 there were 913 inhabitants, 830 of whom were Germans, 38 Slovaks and 45 of other ethnicities. Concerning the denomination, 712 were Protestant, 168 Catholic and 33 Israelite.
After 1918 came in Szepes County lying place to Czechoslovakia . In 1944 the population was 912. Until 1945 there was an independent Roma settlement on the left side of the village entrance on a hill near the Lomnitzbach. From August 28, 1944, the German residents, who until then formed the majority in the community, were evacuated by the German authorities as the Eastern Front approached. Instead of the Germans, Roma from surrounding communities were settled here. After the end of the war in May and June 1945, some families returned to Kleinlomnitz. These were collected in the Podrad camp after a decree by President Edvard Beneš and later deported to East Germany.
Part of the municipal area was ceded to the Javorina military area in 1953 , which was dissolved on January 1, 2011 and reintegrated into the municipal area.
Today the community is almost exclusively inhabited by Roma . The 2001 census showed 90.96% Slovaks and 7.45% Roma of 1516 inhabitants (but see 1991 census: 972 inhabitants, of which 77.78% Roma and 22.12% Slovaks). As of December 31, 2010, Lomnička had 2237 inhabitants.
