History

Veliki Koren had a population of 29 in 1900,[2] but is now uninhabited.[1] In the fall of 1941, German forces evicted the residents of the village to make room for the planned resettlement of Gottschee Germans. By 1971 only two houses remained in the village, and these were already slated for demolition because of the gradual expansion of a mine for diatomaceous earth.[4]
