Zgornje Tenetiše (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnjɛ tɛnɛˈtiːʃɛ]; German: Obertenetische[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Tenetiše.[3]

Geography

[edit]

Zgornje Tenetiše stands in the northern part of the village of Tenetiše, along the road from Kranj to Trstenik.[1] Stražnica Creek, a tributary of Mlinščica Creek, flows through the settlement.[1]

Name

[edit]

The name Zgornje Tenetiše literally means 'upper Tenetiše' and contrasts with neighboring Spodnje Tenetiše (literally, 'lower Tenetiše'). Zgornje Tenetiše stands 38 meters (125 ft) higher in elevation than Spodnje Tenetiše.[1] Zgornje Tenetiše was attested in historical sources as Ober Tenetischz in 1374, Ober Tenatischcz in 1404, and Ober Tenettisch in 1428, among other variations.[4] See Tenetiše for the etymology of the name.

History

[edit]

Zgornje Tenetiše had a population of 100 in 15 houses in 1870,[5] 71 in 15 houses in 1880,[6] 70 in 12 houses in 1900,[2] and 74 in 12 houses in 1931.[1] Together with neighboring Spodnje Tenetiše, Zgornje Tenetiše was merged into a single village called Tenetiše in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[7][8]

Church

[edit]
Saint Dominic's Church

The church in Zgornje Tenetiše is dedicated to Saint Dominic and belongs to the Parish of Trstenik.[9] It was first mentioned in a visitation record of 1631. It was renovated in 1766 and 1877, and it contains a Baroque altar created by Georg Tautscher [sl] (a.k.a. Jurij Tavčar).[1]
