Po stopach Huncokarov IV - Skola Traditional Cache

Huncokarska skola
Keska vas privedie ku chatrajucej vile - prvej vile postavenej v tejto huncokarskej osade v r. 1889 za 7500 zlatych. Vila mala 4 byty a prizemny byt pre mestskeho drevorubaca. Rocny prenajom za 4 byty bol 600 zlatych. Zasluhou skolskeho inspektora Illeka z Trnavy tu v roku 1929 otvorili ludovu skolu pre deti huncokarov, ktore predtym navstevovali skolu v Modre. V Modre mali v budove byvalej kasarne vyhradenu jednu miestnost, kde mavali celodenne vyucovanie. Jedna z Huncokarskch zien ich sprevadzala a varila im obed z potravin, ktore si zo sebou priniesli. Nova skola v mestskej vile zaroven sluzila aj ako horaren a ubytovna pre turistov. Skola bola dvojtriedna, navstevovalo ju okolo dvadsat deti. Jeden skolsky rok tu deti vyucoval aj Frano Kral, ktory mal pri triede ucitelsky byt pozostavajuci z jednej izby a erarneho nabytku. Skola zanikla po II. sv. vojne.

Nieco o Huncokaroch

Huncokari - holzhackeri, (z Holz - drevo, a Hacke - sekera) boli bavorski a tirolski drevorubaci, ktori prisli na uzemie Malych Karpat v polovici 18. storocia s nastupom vlady cisarovnej Marie Terezie (1740-1780).
Sami sa nazyvali Waldleute (lesni, horski ludia) a pomenovanie huncokar vnimali ako posmesne. V oblasti Pezinka boli usadzovani nielen na Palffyovskych majetkoch (na pozvanie ktorych prisli), ale jednotlive rodiny zili roztrusene aj po horskych samotach (najvacsie sidlisko bolo Modra - Piesok).
Prvy, pisomne dolozeny krst dietata huncokarov je z roku 1740, co sa mohlo stat skoro po prichode prvych mladych parov do oblasti Malych Karpat. Prvy huncokarsky sobas je zaznamenany v roku 1853 v Castej a o 10 rokov neskor aj v Modre. Stretavame sa tu najma s priezviskami Holzhacker, Hacker, Holzfäller, Geschwantner, Schwantner, Graus.

Huncokari vykonavali cinnost drevorubacov na zaklade technologii, ktore neboli v danom obdobi, na tomto uzemi zavedene. Ich sluzba mala dedicny charakter, bola odmenovana zarobkom a deputacnymi vyhodami. K pravam drevorubacov patrilo aj uzivanie domu, zahradky, role a kosnej luky. Zaroven mohli past dve kravy, jalovicu a neobmedzeny pocet osipanych.

Sposobom zivota a prace bola tato skupina socialne izolovana. Zili priamo v horach, mali vlastne sviatky (sv. Vincent 22. januar, sv. Maria Magdalena 22. jul a put na Cerveny Kamen 15. septembra) a spolocenske stretavania, do mesta schadzali len na nakupy a do kostola.
Tuto izolovanost umocnovala aj endogamnost skupiny. Vyznamnym zlomov v zivote "horskych ludi" bolo uzakonenie povinnej skolskej dochadzky v druhej polovici 20. rokov. Deti sa tak prirodzene dostavali do kontaktu s ludmi z "dola". Navyse castokrat dochadzali niekolko kilometrov do skoly a hlavne v zime sa sneh staval neprekonatelnou barierou. Rodicia riesili tento problem prechodnym ubytovanim deti v dedinach v podnajme, alebo cele rodiny sa stahovali blizsie k sidlam.

Zaciatkom druhej svetovej vojny zilo v Malych Karpatoch priblizne 800 osob hlasiacich sa k huncokarom. Podla risskeho branneho zakona patrili medzi tzv. etnickych Nemcov a museli narukovat do nemeckej armady. Vdaka ideologii propagovanej Deutsche Partei (kazdy Nemec je nacionalny socialista) a premisy o kolektivnej vine bola vacsina z tych, co prezili II.sv. vojnu, po vojne deportovana do Nemecka.

Huncokar's school
The cache will show you the first villa built in this Huncokars village in the year 1889. Costs were 7500 gold ducats. The villa has 4 apartments and ground floor apartment for urban logger. Annual rent for 4 apartments was 600 gold ducats. Thanks to the school inspector from Trnava Mr. Illek, here was opened elementary school for Huncokar's children in 1929. They previously attended a school in Modra. A new school in an urban villa at the same time served as a gamekeeper's house and tourist dormitory. The school had two classes visited by about twenty children. One school year, children are taught by famous Slovak writer Frano Kral. The school was closed after WW II.

Few words about Huncokars

Huncokars - Holzhacker (from Holz - wood, and Hacke - hatchet) were Bavarian and Tyrolean loggers who came to the territory of the Small Carpathians in the mid-18th century, during the government of Empress Maria Theresa (1740-1780).
They called itself as “Waldleute” (forest, mountain people) and naming huncokar perceived as mockingly. Individual families lived scattered in the mountains (largest housing estate was Modra - Piesok).
The first Huncokar's child baptism, documented in writing, is from 1740. It could happen soon after the arrival of the first young couples in the Small Carpathians region. We meet here in particular with surnames Holzhacker, Hacker, Holzfäller, Geschwantner, Schwantner, Graus.

The Huncokars used new technologies that have not been used in this area in that time. They had the right to use of the house, garden, roles and hay meadows. They also could shepherd two cows, heifer and an unlimited number of pigs.
Because of way of life and work, this group has been socially isolated. They resided in the mountains, they had their own holidays (St. Vincent - January 22, St. Maria Magdalene - July 22 and pilgrimage to the Cerveny Kamen castle - September 15) and own social meetings. They came to the town only for shopping and to church. A significant fault in the life of „mountain people“ was the enactment of compulsory schooling in the second half of the 20th years in 20 century.

At the beginning of World War II lived in the Small Carpathian Mountains about 800 persons belonging to Huncokars. According to Imperial Defence Act were among the so-called ethnic Germans and had to enlist in the German army. Thanks to an ideology promoted by the Deutsche Partei (every German is National Socialists) and the premise of collective guilt, the majority of WWII survivors were deported to Germany after the war.
