Štatenberk (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈʃtaːtəmbɛɾk/; in older sources also Statenberg[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Mokronog-Trebelno in southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]

Name

Štatenberk was attested in historical sources as Stettenberg and Stettenburch in 1250, Staͤtenburch in 1324, and Staetenbürkch in 1387, among other spellings.[4] After the Second World War, there was an initiative by the new communist government to replace many place names of obvious German origin (cf. Branik, Brestanica, Ravne na Koroškem, etc.).[5] A proposal was made for Štatenberk to be renamed Osvobojena vas (literally, 'liberated village'), but it was not carried through.[6]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Martin of Tours and belongs to the Parish of Trebelno. It has a Romanesque nave with a 15th-century extension. The building was restyled in the Baroque in the 18th century.[7]
