Pristava pri Trebnjem stands west of the center of Trebnje. The houses in the settlement stand partially on a plain and partially on a terrace of the Temenica River above the railroad.[1][2] There are tilled fields at higher elevations in the settlement and meadows at lower elevations near the river.[2]
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Pristava to Pristava pri Trebnjem in 1953 in order to distinguish it from other settlements with the same name.[5] The name Pristava pri Trebnjem literally means 'manor farm near Trebnje'. The name Pristava comes from the common noun pristava 'manor farm; house with outbuildings and land'. Manor farms were typically found near a manor house and were operated by servants of the manor. Settlements with this name and the semantically equivalent Marof are frequent in Slovenia.[6]
History
Archeological finds testify to settlement of the area during the Roman era. During excavation for new housing after the Second World War, Roman graves were found; they are believed to have been associated with the Roman colony of Praetorium Latobicorum.[2]
Pristava pri Trebnjem was annexed by Trebnje in 1972, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5][7][8]
