Tatranská Javorina ( German Uhrngarten or Urgarten , Polish Jaworzyna Tatrzańska , Hungarian Javorina ) is a municipality in northeastern Slovakia . It is located at the foot of the High Tatras , about 25 km from Zakopane in Poland and 45 km from Poprad .
history
The community started in the 18th century. In 1759 an ironworks with hammer and blast furnace was built in the area of today's town, and in 1837 a rolling mill was built. This plant was closed in the middle of the 19th century and a cardboard factory and wood pulp production were opened in 1875. As a result of the industrial settlement, a seasonal settlement was created around the factory, which was officially included in the Jurgov / Jurgów municipality and was independent from 1863.
In 1879 the area was bought by the Prussian nobleman Christian Kraft, Prince of Hohenlohe-Öhringen . He expanded the small town and tried to set up a wild life.
In 1918 the place became a border town to Poland and was a point of contention between the two states in the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts . From September 1938 to November 1939, the place was then occupied by Poles and was named Jaworzyna Spiska . From 1947 to the end of 1992 the municipality was part of Ždiar .
Surname
The name of the place comes from the former maple forests (Slovak javor ) in the area, after which some geographical objects were named (river Javorinka , valley Javorová dolina and peak Javorový štít (2417.6 m above sea level)). The German name comes from the dialect pronunciation of "Ahorngarten", other forms mentioned are also Urengarten and Urngarten .
local community
The settlement Podspády (German Fluder ) also belongs to the municipality .
