SloveniaTraditional region Lower Carniola Statistical region Southeast Slovenia Municipality Kočevje Area – Total 4.75 km2 (1.8 sq mi) Elevation 466.7 m (1,531 ft) Population (2002) – Total 42 [1] Nemška Loka (German: Unterdeutschau) is a settlement in the Kočevje municipality in southern Slovenia. It was inhabited mostly by Gottschee Germans. During the Second World War its original population was expelled. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[2]
The local parish church was dedicated to Saint Mary and was a large Baroque pilgrimage church. It was demolished after the Second World War.[3] A second church, dedicated to Saint Margaret in the Tanči Vrh settlement to the northwest of the main village was burnt down in 1942 when the entire, previously abandoned settlement was set on fire. It was not restored after the war. In 1980 the remaining nave collapsed and in 1992 the unsafe sanctuary was removed.[4]
