Rogati Hrib (pronounced [ɾɔˈɡaːti ˈxɾiːp]; German: Hornberg,[2][3] Gottscheerish: Hoarnparg[4]) is an abandoned settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[5]
Name
The Slovene name Rogati Hrib literally means 'prominent/exposed hill'[6] and is semantically equivalent to the German name Hornberg and Gottscheerish name Hoarnparg. Petschauer suggests that the origin of the name may be fanciful, not referring to any particular geographical feature.[4]
History
Rogati Hrib was a
Church
The local church was a chapel of ease dedicated to Saint Ulrich (Slovene: Sveti Urh). The church stood on a slope above the village and was surrounded by a walled cemetery. The polygonal chancel was walled on three sides and probably rib-vaulted; it was oriented toward the northeast, continuing into a rectangular nave with a wide portico. The church was first mentioned in written sources by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor in 1689, but its architectural features indicate that it dated to at least the beginning of the 17th century. The church's portico and nave shared a shingled roof, and the somewhat lower roof of the chancel was also shingled. There was a bell-cot over the portico with a pointed, shingled roof. The entrance had a pointed-arch door casing. The flat wooden ceiling of the nave was painted, and there was a wooden choir loft at the southwest end with a painted railing. The vaulted chancel had large cracks by the end of the 19th century.[10] The church was demolished soon after 1947.[10][11]
