Proud Corner - Pogačnikova Hiša

Another Grande Dame of notable Ljubljana Secession buildings, this one located at Cigaletova ulica 1 facing Miklošičev park. No great surprise that this was also the creation of the architect Ciril Koch, who drew so much inspiration from Viennese contemporary designs. This is perhaps our favourite of the fanciful corners gracing the streets of Ljubljana.

Še ena Grande Dame znamenitih ljubljanskih secesijskih stavb, ta se nahaja na Cigaletovi ulici 1 pri Miklošičevemu parku. Ni presenetljivo, da je tudi to delo arhitekta Cirila Kocha, ki je črpal toliko navdiha iz dunajskih sodobnih oblik. To je morda naš najljubši od domiselnih kotičkov, ki krasijo ljubljanske ulice.

Constructed by the prolific local builder Valentin Accetto and financed by Josip and Štefan Pogačnik, the building was designed as a rental property. Fortunate renters, indeed.

Stavba, ki jo je zgradil plodoviti lokalni gradbenik Valentin Accetto in financirala Josip in Štefan Pogačnik, je bila zasnovana kot najemnina. Srečni najemniki, res.

Josip Pogačnik was a remarkable figure in Slovenian history. His uncle was a builder of clock towers, which might indicate why this corner has a passing resemblance to a clock tower, minus the clock. Born to a landowning family, he attended law studies in Graz, and then went to become active in politics. 

Josip Pogačnik je bil izjemna osebnost slovenske zgodovine. Njegov stric je bil graditelj urnih stolpov, kar bi lahko nakazovalo, zakaj je ta vogal bežno podoben urnemu stolpu, sicer brez ure. Rodil se je v posestniški družini, je študiral pravo v Gradcu, nato pa se je odpravil v politiko.

In 1897, Pogačnik was elected into the National Assembly for the Kamnik region, as part of the new Catholic Party. He was also elected as representative for the Radovljica region within the Kranj body in the National Assembly. He held both positions until the end of the Austro-Hungarian reign.

Leta 1897 je bil Pogačnik v okviru nove katoliške stranke izvoljen v državni zbor za Kamniško. Izvoljen je bil tudi za predstavnika Radovljiške regije v organu Kranja v Državnem zboru. Obe funkciji je opravljal do konca avstro-ogrske vladavine.

And now the interesting part. Pogačnik was, in 1919, elected as the first president of the Slovenian National government, within the sphere of the government of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (SHS). He is credited with ensuring a peaceful resolution to the crisis after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian empire. 

In zdaj zanimiv del. Pogačnik je bil leta 1919 izvoljen za prvega predsednika slovenske Narodne vlade v okviru vlade Slovencev, Hrvatov in Srbov (SHS). Zaslužen je za mirno rešitev krize po padcu Avstro-Ogrske.

Besides this, Pogačnik led the construction of the Bohinj railway, waterworks in Bled and many civic improvements in Gorenjska.

Preserve this beauty and history on your wall. 

Poleg tega je Pogačnik vodil gradnjo bohinjske železnice, vodovoda na Bledu in številne meščanske izboljšave na Gorenjskem. Ohranite to lepoto in zgodovino na svoji steni.
