Dunajská Lužná
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dunajská Lužná is a municipality (village) in the Bratislava Region of westernSlovakia in Senec District.
Dunajská Lužná lies approximately 15 km from the capital city of Bratislava towards Dunajská Streda and Komárno. She was founded on 1st January, 1974 consisting of three formerly separate villages - Nové Košariská (former German name was Mischdorf, former Hungarian name was Mišérd), Jánošíková (former name Dienesdi or Dénešd) and Nová Lipnica (former German name Tartsendorf, former Hungarian name Torč). Dunajská Lužná belongs to the vicinity of Bratislava as there is increasing building activity due to new inhabitants coming from Bratislava or other cities.
Not far from the municipality towards Senec lie two lakes - Malá Voda and Piesková Jama. They serve for fishing and also for bathing and in Summer months they are quite crowded. Near the township runs a Water Barrier, protecting the villages and townships all the way from Bratislava to Gabčíkovo from flooding from the Dunaj River. The inhabitants of Dunajská Lužná are of a mixed nationality, mainly Slovaks with traces of German, Hungarian and some others. The current status of population here is around 3200 (as of December, 2005).
There is a large roman catholic community in Dunajská Lužná with the Church, devoted to "The Elevation of the Holy Cross". Besides roman catholics there are also Lutherans and some other minor religions.
[edit] History
In the Sigil of the Township St. Martin of Tours is displayed.
The municipality of Dunajská Lužná is also well known in European Archaeology with its mound burial site from around 700 - 500 BC. During the archaeological survey in the "Nové Košariská" part of the municipality, a mound necropolis with fire-type burials and a central earth-grave was studied. Archaeogolists found richly decorated ceramic bins here, although only few metallic objects were retrieved.
In January 2004, a permanent exposition with the name "History and present of the municipality" was opened in Dunajská Lužná and it provides visitors with closer view of the past and present life of the Township.
