Laze (pronounced [ˈlaːzɛ], German: Lase[2]) is a village south of Logatec in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Name
The name Laze was originally an accusative plural of the masculine common noun laz 'grassy clearing', referring to a local landscape element. It was later reanalyzed as a feminine nominative plural.[4] The settlement was known as Lase in German.[2]
Unmarked grave
Laze is the site of an unmarked grave from the period after the Second World War. The Logarček Shaft Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Brezno Logarček) is located in the woods between Laze and the freeway, about 320 meters (1,050 ft) northwest of the overpass. It contained the remains of a Slovene civilian victim of the December 1945 postwar killings. The remains were removed from the grave under unknown circumstances.[5]
