Geography

Zgornja Zadobrova is an elongated village west of Spodnja Zadobrova, extending between the low-lying meadows along the Sava River and the former river banks along the road from Zalog to Sneberje. The soil is mostly sandy. [1]

Name

The name Zgornja Zadobrova literally means 'upper Zadobrova', distinguishing the settlement from neighboring Spodnja Zadobrova (literally, 'lower Zadobrova'). The name Zadobrova is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost its case ending, from za 'behind' + dobrova (< Common Slavic *dǫbrova) 'place where there is a deciduous or oak forest', in turn derived from *dǫbъ 'deciduous tree, oak'. Like similar names (e.g., Dobrova , Dobrovce, Dobrovnik ), it originally referred to the local vegetation. [4] In the past the German name was Obersadobrawa. [2]

History

Evidence of early settlement of the area has been found at the Zgornja Zadobrova archaeological site. Finds include stone items from prehistoric settlement and a sestertius issued during the reign of Trajan. [5] The Ljuk Mill (Slovene : Ljukov Mlin) formerly stood along a small creek northeast of the village. [2] A school was established in Zgornja Zadobrova in 1951. Lessons took place in a private residence until 1958, when a schoolhouse was built as part of the community center. The community center also includes the agricultural cooperative office, a bar, a shop, a movie theater, and public hall. Zgornja Zadobrova was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1982, ending its existence as an independent settlement. [6]
