Malinová (Slovak until 1927 "Cách", 1927 to 1948 "Cech"; German Zeche , Hungarian Csék - until 1907 Cach ) is a municipality 10 kilometers north of the city of Prievidza and has 883 inhabitants according to the 2011 census, of which 821 are Slovaks and 51 (6.2%) designated as Germans .
The place, through which the Chvojnica river flows, is surrounded by the foothills of the Little Fatra and was first mentioned in writing as Chach in 1339 .
Until 1945, Zeche was shaped by a Carpathian-German population, many of whom participated in the resistance against National Socialism . On November 7, 1944, the SS deported 32 families from the town to concentration camps . Of 96 Carpathian German anti-fascists, 26 died in battle.
Some Carpathian Germans stayed in Cech after 1945, but the use of the German language was no longer desired. According to the villagers, the place was named Malinová in 1948 after the Soviet general Rodion Jakovlevič Malinovskij , whose 2nd Ukrainian Front moved into Cech in the spring of 1945.
The maintenance of tradition is very important for the Slovak and also the small part of the German population. This includes Christmas and Easter, which are celebrated in a very typical German way with songs and customs. Customs that have already been forgotten, such as the common feathering while singing in the old dialect and drinking together, come back to life and are passed on to young people. Dances and old folk songs are also taught and celebrated on almost every festive occasion.
