Kopernica (German: Deutschlitta; Hungarian: Barskapronca) is a village and municipality in Žiar nad Hronom District in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.

Etymology

[edit]

The name comes from koper (Slovak koper, kôpor: dill) + -nica. "The land where the wild dill grows".[8]

History

The village belonged to a German language island, known as Hauerland.[2] The German population was expelled in 1945.
