Podborst (pronounced [pɔdˈbɔɾʃt], German: Podworst[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.[3] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[4]
Geography
[edit]Podboršt lies below the south slope of Kob Hill (391 meters or 1,283 feet) along the former main road from Ljubljana to Domžale.[1]
Name
[edit]The name Podboršt is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection, from pod 'below' + boršt 'woods', referring to the wooded slope of Kob Hill, which rises above the former village. The common noun boršt is a borrowing from Middle High German for(e)st 'woods, forest', and is found in other Slovene toponyms such as Boršt.[5]
History
[edit]After the Second World War, extensive new housing was built in Podboršt.[3] The village was annexed by Črnuče in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[6] Črnuče itself was annexed by Ljubljana in 1980.[7]
