Gottscheer heritage (summary) Gottscheer Hall is named after Gottschee (today Kočevje), a historic German-speaking region in what is now Slovenia. Key points from the history shared on the website: - The region of Gottschee was settled in the 1300s in a highland area bordered by the Cabranka, Kulpa and Gurk rivers. - Over centuries, the people of Gottschee developed a distinct German dialect considered a relic of the Middle Ages. - The area endured invasions, disease, heavy taxation and political changes, eventually becoming part of Yugoslavia after World War I. - During and after World War II, many Gottscheers were displaced and became refugees; large numbers later settled in the United States. - Since the late 1800s, thousands of Gottscheers have immigrated to the U.S., especially New York and Cleveland. Gottscheer Hall reflects this heritage in its name, cuisine and cultural connections with the Gottscheer community.
