Profiles

Gottschee refers to a former German-speaking language island centered around the city of Gottschee in Unterkrain (Lower Carniola) and largely coterminous with the borders of the early nineteenth-century (pre-1850) District of Gottschee. The German-speaking residents of the region are called Gottschee Germans or Gottscheers, and their German dialect is called Gottschee German or Gottscheerish. The region has been part of the Holy Roman Empire, the Hapsburg Empire, the Illyrian Provinces of the French Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (SHS), and, until 1941, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The German-speaking population, settled in the region since 1330, was resettled during World War II to the Rann Triangle in Untersteiermark (Lower Styria) (Nov 1941-Jan 1942) and then, at the the end of the war, expelled from Yugoslavia (May 1945). Since 1991, the region is located in Slovenia.

This project is intended to contain the profiles of persons who were Gottscheers by birth or marriage, or who by descent carry on a Gottscheer surname.
