Sveta Trojica, Domžale
village in the Municipality of Domžale in Slovenia
Sveta Trojica (pronounced [ˈsʋeːta tɾɔˈjiːtsa]; German: Heiligendreifaltigkeit) is a settlement in the hills east of Domžale, in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It includes the hamlets of Konfin and Uševk (in older sources also Olševek, German: Uscheuk).
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Vrh Svete Trojice (literally, 'Holy Trinity Peak') to Sveta Trojica (literally, 'Holy Trinity') in 1952. The name was changed again to Trojica (literally, 'Trinity') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. The name Sveta Trojica was restored in 1992. In the past the German name was Heiligendreifaltigkeit.
History
During the Second World War, the village and the surrounding area was used for convalescence by Partisan soldiers crossing the Sava River into Lower Carniola. Various Partisan units bivouacked in Sveta Trojica and Partisan meetings were held there. On 22 July 1944, Partisan forces repelled a German raid on the village.

Why this record matters
“Sveta Trojica, Domžale” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sveta, Trojica and Domžale provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 27, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2948535. Authority coordinates are 46.124, 14.673. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1952, 1955, 1948 and 1992.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
