Name
The name Spodnja Šiška literally means 'lower Šiška', distinguishing the settlement from neighboring Zgornja Šiška (literally, 'upper Šiška'). The name Šiška was attested in 1308 as ze Cheis (and as Cheysse in 1330 and pey Keysk in 1331). The name is derived from *Hiška, a diminutive of the common noun hiša 'house'. The phonological change of H- > Š- may be due to Upper Carniolan palatalization, discontinuous assimilation, or both. The semantic motivation of the name is attributed to a single small house that originally stood in the settlement.[4] In the past the German name was Unterschischka.[1]
History
The oldest settlement core of Spodnja Šiška lies between Milan Majcen Street (Slovene: Ulica Milana Majcna, formerly Saint Bartholomew Street, Svetega Jerneja cesta) and Fire Station Street (Gasilska cesta). The houses in this area had long strips of land in a north-south direction. In 1382, a peace treaty between the Republic of Venice and Leopold III of Habsburg was signed in front of St. Bartholomew's Church in Spodnja Šiška, whereby the Austrians agreed to return the city of Trieste.[5] Spodnja Šiška was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1914, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[6]
Church
The church in Spodnja Šiška is one of the oldest in Ljubljana. It is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and is also known as the Old Church (Slovene: Stara cerkev). It was built in the 13th century and was remodeled between 1933 and 1938 by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik.[7]
