Everything about Dev Nska Nov Ves totally explained
Devínska Nová Ves ( ; lit.
Devín New Village) is a borough of
Bratislava, the capital of
Slovakia. Its western borders are formed by the
Morava River, which also represents the national border between Slovakia and
Austria.
History
Devínska Nová Ves was mentioned for the first time around
1451 as
Nová Ves. During the
17th-
centuries, the village was growing and after an influx of
Croats, the village acquired the name
Chorvátska Nová Ves. In the
18th century, a sand mine was built here near Sandberg and later in the
19th century, stone was
quarried here as well. In
1848, the village was renamed once more to its current name. In
1918, the village was a site of battle between the
Czechoslovak and
Hungarian armies as part of fights for Bratislava, and Czechoslovak troops emerged victorious. At the end of
World War II, the village was burned down by the retreating German
Nazi army. In
1948, Devínska Nová Ves was near the border of two political systems, and in
1955 the
Iron Curtain came down near the village. It was also one of the escape routes to Austria, by swimming across the Morava river. On
1 January 1972, Devínska Nová Ves was made an official borough of Bratislava. In the
1970s and
1980s, new auto plants were built, first
Bratislavské automobilové závody (BAZ), then a new
Volkswagen factory, which spurred the construction of new apartment blocks in the borough in the late 1980s. In the
1990s, the Iron Curtain was taken down.
Local parts
Devínska Nová Ves is further divided into these local parts:
Devínske Jazero,
Kostolné,
Podhorské,
Paulinské,
Sídlisko Stred and
Vápenka.
Transport
Devínska Nová Ves lies near the
railways to
Austria and the
Czech Republic. Road traffic is some of the worst in Bratislava, because all of the access roads are busy and narrow. Relocation of these roads is planned to begin soon. In the future, there will be motorway border crossing to Austria.
Public transportation uses
buses and is stressed as well, because the centre is quite distant, and buses are often late.
People
Devínska Nová Ves houses the greatest Croat minority in Slovakia and the Festival of Croatian Culture takes place annually.
