Štatenberk (pronounced [ˈʃtaːtəmbɛɾk]; in older sources also Statenberg^[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Mokronog-Trebelno in southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.^[3]

Name

Štatenberk was attested in historical sources as Stettenberg and Stettenburch in 1250, Staͤtenburch in 1324, and Staetenbürkch in 1387, among other spellings.^[4] After the Second World War, there was an initiative by the new communist government to replace many place names of obvious German origin (cf. Branik, Brestanica, Ravne na Koroškem, etc.).^[5] A proposal was made for Štatenberk to be renamed Osvobojena vas (literally, 'liberated village'), but it was not carried through.^[6]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Martin of Tours and belongs to the Parish of Trebelno. It has a Romanesque nave with a 15th-century extension. The building was restyled in the Baroque in the 18th century.^[7]
