Vurberk (pronounced as /sl/) is a settlement in the Municipality of Duplek in northeastern Slovenia. It lies on the left bank of the Drava River on the southwestern edge of the Slovene Hills (sl|Slovenske gorice), southeast of Maribor. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[2]
The name of the settlement was changed from Vumpah to Vurberk in 1982.[3] The Slovene name Vumpah is derived from German Wurmbach and was first attested as such in 1496.[4] [5] The Slovene name Vurberk originally referred to the castle above the village and is derived from German Wurmberg.[5] Vurberk Castle, destroyed in 1945, was first mentioned in 1244 as Wuermwerg.[6]
The local parish church, built on a hill east of the village, next to a small castle, is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It is a Baroque building from 1776.[7]
