history
The village of Srebrnik is first mentioned in a document on June 26, 1275 as "Silberpach". The place appears under the same name in a document from 1480. In the land register of the Königsberg rule from 1566, the settlement "Silberpachdorff" is called. The names of the tax subjects were then: the mayor "Suppan Gregor, Leonhard Krall, Thomas Chlade and Juri Schmodila".
The settlement is also mentioned in the Josephine land survey (1784–1787): “Silberberg, which also includes Pleszdorff”… “On the west side of the village between and across the mountain, the road from Rann to Landsberg is 2 to 3 fathoms wide, and good at all times "..." The forest facing north on the steep and high slopes of the mountains is mostly medium and small-stemmed, thickly overgrown with bushes and cannot be ridden through. "
Even Carl dirt 1822 leads the place in his "Steyer Märkischen Lexicon" to: "Silberberg, windisch Srebernig, Cillier circle, municipality in the district Wisell, Parish of St. Peter bey Konigsberg; subservient to the Wisell reign. The area is measured with the municipality of Pleßdorf. Houses 25, tenants 25, local population 114, including 64 female souls. Cattle stall horses 1, oxen 2, cows 9 ”.
The place was also included in the “Lexicon of Styria” by Josef Andreas Janisch (edition 1878 to 1885): “Silberberg, slov. Srebernik, part of the cadastral community Plesdorf, local community St. Peter near Königsberg, judicial district Drachenburg, parish and schooled in St. Peter near Königsberg, has 29 houses with 126 souls (61 ml., 65 wbl.), North of St. Peter on the Croatian border, in a vineyard, at the foot of which the Feistritz flows into the Sottla. "
At the census in 1880 Silberberg consisted of 32 inhabited houses. 162 residents were counted, (83 ml. And 79 wbl.) All of them professed to the Catholic religion . 153 of the local residents used Slovene as a colloquial language, German was not given as a colloquial language.
In 1931 the village of Srebrnik with its 178 inhabitants belonged to the municipality of Sveti Petar pod Svetimi gorami (St. Peter under the Holy Mountain) and was in the Draubanat / Dravska banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia .
After the "smashing" of the Yugoslav state by the Axis powers in April 1941, the Greater German Reich also occupied Lower Styria. The "rebuilding" of administration and economy began immediately. For the village of Srebrnik with its Slovenian population, this reorganization resulted in almost the entire population being deported to Germany in November and December 1941 in the camps of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle (VoMi). Ethnic Germans from the Gottschee were settled in the vacated houses and courtyards .
