Stone marker for Gnadendorf

The village of Gnadendorf did not have a Slovene name.[4] In the 1880 census, the village had 17 houses and a population of 135, which was 95% German-speaking.[4] In 1894, Gnadendorf had a lower secondary school, hospital, and orphanage, and it already formed a continuous conurbation with Kočevje[5] as a result of growth spurred by the arrival of the railroad in 1893.[6] Together with neighboring Hutterhäuser, Gnadendorf was annexed by Kočevje in 1896.[3][7]
