Sklené (before 1927 Slovak "Skleno" / "Sklenô"; German Glaserhay or Glaserhau - older also Glaserhütte , Hungarian Turócnémeti - until 1907 Szklenó ) is a village and municipality in Hauerland in central Slovakia .
history
The place was founded in 1360 as a Waldhufendorf and from 1405 came into the possession of the city of Kremnica ( Kremnitz ). Until 1945, the place was predominantly settled by German-speaking residents (1930: 3254 inhabitants, 2548 of whom were German-speaking). In 2001, 27 people still claimed to be Germans.
The inhabitants lived mainly from the delivery of charcoal and pit wood, and due to the expansion of mining, many also hired themselves as miners in nearby Handlová ( Krickerhau ) or did seasonal work.
In 1933 and 1934, large fires destroyed numerous houses in the village.
During the partisan uprisings on September 21, 1944, 187 German-speaking residents of Glaserhau, including children and the elderly, were massacred. Since 1994 there has been a memorial to the victims of the Glaserhau massacre . During the passage of the front during the Second World War in 1945, heavy fighting took place in the local area, in which 250 houses were destroyed.
