Rača (until 1946 in Slovak "Račištorf", until 1927 "Račistorf" or "Rastislavice"; German Ratzersdorf , older also Rat (zi) schdorf ; Hungarian Récse ) is a district in the north of Bratislava , at the foot of the Little Carpathians .
Description and history
The area is an old settlement site (Paleolithic, Celtic, Roman, early Slavic times). The Slovak community Okol (Old Slovak for "cattle fence") originally stood in the area of today's municipality. From this later parish, the parish of Racha split off in the course of the 13th century. The name is derived either from the Slovak Rak-ja (to rak , "crayfish") or from the Slovak personal name Racha (Radša) mentioned in the documents. The new community was settled by German settlers in the 13th century and the name was Germanized.
In the form of Rača, the place was first mentioned in 1296 as villa Racha and over the centuries it has been a wine-growing community with a strong German-speaking population. Until 1946 it was independent under the Slovak name Račistorf , but then came to the city of Bratislava as a district and was renamed Rača .
