Sobotište (German Sobotischt , older also Freischütz , Hungarian Ószombat - until 1907 Szobotist ) is a municipality in western Slovakia in the Záhorie . It is located at the foot of the White Carpathians on the Teplica River , about seven kilometers north of Senica and 13 kilometers west of Myjava .
history
Sobotište was first mentioned in 1251 and was a market town in the Middle Ages. In 1546, a Bruderhof was established here as a separate suburb of the German-speaking Hutterites who came from the radical Reformation Anabaptist movement . The Bruderhof was the first Hutterite court established in Slovakia and the only one that lasted all the time of the Hutterite movement in Central Europe until 1762. Even after the re-Catholicization , many of the Hutterites, called Habans by the Slovaks and now Catholicized, stayed at the site. A wool manufacture was founded in 1770. In the middle of the 19th century the then Slavic-German market had 1780 Protestant, 690 Catholic and 556 Israelite inhabitants.
The Javorec district , located in the White Carpathians , which is made up of several small settlements (in Slovak, kopanice ) , also belongs to the municipality .
Asteroid 26401 Sobotište, discovered in 1999, is named after the place .
