Description and history

The Slovak name is derived from the German name. Under the Slavic name Prača or Pračany , which is also reflected in its earlier Hungarian name Prácsa , the place was mentioned for the first time in 1237. Like the neighboring Rača , it was a wine-growing community for centuries. This was independent from 1851 until it finally became a district of Bratislava in 1946.
