Primskovo (pronounced [ˈpɾiːmskɔʋɔ]; German: Primskau or Primskou) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the city of Kranj. Primskovo lies above the left bank of the Kokra River, connected to the center of Kranj by a bridge 28 m above the gorge of the river, offering an impressive view. The houses in Primskovo mingle with those of neighboring Klanec, also a former independent settlement.
Name
The name Primskovo is probably derives from an adjective form of the Slavic common noun *prijьmьskъ 'son-in-law that settles on the bride's farm', shortened from a longer name such as Prijьmьskovo selo/polje (literally, 'son-in-law's village/field'). It may also be derived from the (unconfirmed) nickname *Primъ, meaning 'Primъ's (village/field)'. In the past the German name was Primskau or Primskou.
History
The remains of a stronghold built for protection against Ottoman attacks are visible in Primskovo. A primary school with four grades was established in the village in 1890. Primskovo was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
