Ostrý Grúň (Hungarian Élesmart - until 1888 Osztrigrun , German Franz ) is a municipality in central Slovakia . It lies in the bird Mountains (Vtáčnik) and is about 13 km from Žarnovica removed.

The place was first mentioned in writing around 1700. In 1873 the place was assigned to the municipality of Hrabičov and remained with this until 1951. In January 1945 the village was burned down by the partisan defense group 218 Edelweiss . The unit was subordinate to Major Erwein von Thun and Hohenstein and consisted of Slovaks, Caucasians, Cossacks and Germans. Defense group 218 was subordinate to Front Control Center II South-East. Since the SS took over the Abwehr in spring 1944, it was subordinate to Dept. VI-S of the Reich Security Main Office , namely Otto Skorzeny, and was later renamed "SS-Jagdverband Süd-Ost".
