Smolenice (Hungarian: Szomolány; German: Smolenitz) is a village and municipality of Trnava District in the Trnava Region of Slovakia, on the foothills of the Little Carpathians. It is 60 km northeast of Bratislava and 25 km northwest of Trnava. The village is made of two parts, Smolenice and Smolenická Nová Ves (formerly Neštich).
History
The location of Smolenice at the edge of the basin of Trnava, easy access, and fertility facilitated settlement of the land in the
Majdán. This was replaced in 1968 with the a paint factory Chemolak. On 6 August 2016 Cologne artist Gunter Demnig erected five Stolpersteine
for Friedrich Beinhacker and four members of the Sidon family, all murdered by the Nazi regime.
