The [[Poprad-Tatry Airport]] is an international airport located just outside the city. Poprad is also the starting point of the [[Tatra Electric Railway]] (known in Slovak as ''Tatranská elektrická železnica''), a set of special narrow-gauge trains (trams) connecting the resorts in the [[High Tatras]] with each other and with Poprad. Main line trains link Poprad to other destinations in Slovakia and beyond; in particular, there are through trains running from Poprad to [[Prague]] in the [[Czech Republic]].

The territory was since the [[Migration Period]] inhabited by [[Slavs|Slavic]] settlers. The first written record dates from March 16, 1256 in the deed of donation of the Hungarian King [[Béla IV of Hungary|Bela IV.]] It was colonized in the 13th century by [[Carpathian Germans|German]] settlers and became the largely German town ''Deutschendorf'' meaning 'Germans' village'. From 1412 to 1770, as one of the Spis towns, Poprad was pawned by the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] to the [[The Jagiellon Era|Kingdom of Poland]], resulting in a strong Polish influence on the city's further development. In the 17th century, the number of Germans began to decline. In January 1919 this territory was placed under the control of [[Czechoslovakia]].

The territory was since the [[Migration Period]] inhabited by [[Slavs|Slavic]] settlers. The first written record dates from March 16, 1256 in the deed of donation of the Hungarian King [[Béla IV of Hungary|Bela IV.]] After the [[Mongol invasions and conquests|Mongol invasions]] in the 13th century it was colonized by [[Carpathian Germans|German]] settlers and became the largely German town ''Deutschendorf'' meaning 'Germans' village'. From 1412 to 1770, as one of the Spis towns, Poprad was pawned by the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] to the [[The Jagiellon Era|Kingdom of Poland]], resulting in a strong Polish influence on the city's further development. In the 17th century, the number of Germans began to decline. Since 1918 this territory was placed under the control of [[Czechoslovakia]].


Poprad itself was for 690 years (up until 1946) just one of several neighbouring settlements, which currently make up the modern city. The other parts of the current municipality are ''Matejovce'' (German: ''Matzdorf''; Hungarian: ''Mateóc'', first reference 1251), ''Spišská Sobota'' (German: ''Georgenberg''; Hungarian: ''Szepesszombat'', 1256), ''Veľká'' (German/Hungarian: ''Felka'', 1268), and ''Stráže pod Tatrami'' (German: ''Michelsdorf''; Hungarian: ''Strázsa'', 1276). The most significant of these original towns was Georgenberg, now [[Spišská Sobota]], which preserved its dominant position in the area until the late 19th century.

Poprad gained importance at the expense of Spišská Sobota after the construction of the [[Košice–Bohumín Railway]] in 1871. In the following years, further railway lines were built: Poprad - Kežmarok in 1892 and [[Tatra Electric Railway]] in 1908.
In 1942, during [[World War II]], most of the transports of Jews to ghettos and concentration camps in German-occupied Poland were sent from the [[Poprad-Tatry railway station|Poprad railway station]]. The first transport of about 1,000 Jewish girls and young women left Poprad on March 25, 1942 for [[Auschwitz extermination camp|Auschwitz-Birkenau]]. By the end of 1942, when the deportations stopped, over 58,000 [[Holocaust in Slovakia|Jews had been deported from Slovakia]] to Poland via Poprad.<ref>{{cite web |title=Memorial plaque for deported Jews at Poprad railway station|website= Holocaust Memorials: Monuments, Museums and Institutions in Commemoration of Nazi Victims|url=https://www.gedenkstaetten-uebersicht.de/en/europe/cl/slowakei/inst/gedenktafel-fuer-die-deportier/|publisher=Stiftung Topographie des Terrors|location=Berlin, Germany| access-date=2019-10-20}}</ref>

Poprad was liberated on January 28, 1945 by troops of the [[Red Army|Soviet]] [[18th Army (Soviet Union)|18th Army]]. The German population was expelled afterwards.
After the war, with the development of winter sports, Poprad became the starting point for expeditions to the [[High Tatras]].

After the war, the neighbouring settlements were incorporated into Poprad: Spišská Sobota and Veľká in 1945, Stráže pod Tatry in 1960 and Matejovce in 1974. At that time, with the development of winter sports, Poprad became the starting point for expeditions to the [[High Tatras]].


In 1999, Poprad put in a bid to host the [[2006 Winter Olympics]], but lost to [[Turin]], Italy.

View of the High Tatras from Poprad

Poprad (Slovak: [ˈpɔprat] ⓘ; Hungarian: Poprád; German: Deutschendorf) is a city in northern Slowakei at the foot of the High Tatra Mountains, famous for its picturesque historic centre and as a holiday resort. It is the biggest town of the Spiš region and the tenth largest city in Slovakia, with a population of approximately 50,000.

The Poprad-Tatry Airport is an international airport located just outside the city. Poprad is also the starting point of the Tatra Electric Railway (known in Slovak as Tatranská elektrická železnica), a set of special narrow-gauge trains (trams) connecting the resorts in the High Tatras with each other and with Poprad. Main line trains link Poprad to other destinations in Slovakia and beyond; in particular, there are through trains running from Poprad to Prague in the Czech Republic.

The territory was since the Migration Period inhabited by Slavic settlers. The first written record dates from March 16, 1256 in the deed of donation of the Hungarian King Bela IV. After the Mongol invasions in the 13th century it was colonized by German settlers and became the largely German town Deutschendorf meaning 'Germans' village'. From 1412 to 1770, as one of the Spis towns, Poprad was pawned by the Kingdom of Hungary to the Kingdom of Poland, resulting in a strong Polish influence on the city's further development. In the 17th century, the number of Germans began to decline. Since 1918 this territory was placed under the control of Czechoslovakia.

Poprad itself was for 690 years (up until 1946) just one of several neighbouring settlements, which currently make up the modern city. The other parts of the current municipality are Matejovce (German: Matzdorf; Hungarian: Mateóc, first reference 1251), Spišská Sobota (German: Georgenberg; Hungarian: Szepesszombat, 1256), Veľká (German/Hungarian: Felka, 1268), and Stráže pod Tatrami (German: Michelsdorf; Hungarian: Strázsa, 1276). The most significant of these original towns was Georgenberg, now Spišská Sobota, which preserved its dominant position in the area until the late 19th century.

Poprad gained importance at the expense of Spišská Sobota after the construction of the Košice–Bohumín Railway in 1871. In the following years, further railway lines were built: Poprad - Kežmarok in 1892 and Tatra Electric Railway in 1908.

In 1942, during World War II, most of the transports of Jews to ghettos and concentration camps in German-occupied Poland were sent from the Poprad railway station. The first transport of about 1,000 Jewish girls and young women left Poprad on March 25, 1942 for Auschwitz-Birkenau. By the end of 1942, when the deportations stopped, over 58,000 Jews had been deported from Slovakia to German-occupied Poland via Poprad.[4]

Poprad was liberated on January 28, 1945 by troops of the Soviet 18th Army. The German population was expelled afterwards.

After the war, the neighbouring settlements were incorporated into Poprad: Spišská Sobota and Veľká in 1945, Stráže pod Tatry in 1960 and Matejovce in 1974. At that time, with the development of winter sports, Poprad became the starting point for expeditions to the High Tatras.

In 1999, Poprad put in a bid to host the 2006 Winter Olympics, but lost to Turin, Italy.

Geography

Poprad lies at an altitude of 672 metres (2,205 ft) above sea level and covers an area of 63 square kilometres (24.3 sq mi).[5] It is located in northeastern Slovakia, about 110 kilometres (68 mi) from Košice and 330 kilometres (205 mi) from Bratislava (by road).

Poprad is situated on the Poprad River in the Sub-Tatra Basin, and is a gateway to the High Tatras. Mountain ranges around the city include the Levoča Hills in the east, Kozie chrbty in the south, and the Low Tatras in the southwest. The drainage divide between the Black Sea and Baltic Sea lies a bit to the west, near the village of Štrba.

Climate

Poprad lies in the north temperate zone and has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with four distinct seasons. It is characterized by a significant variation between warm summers and cold winters.
