Brod na Kupi (pronounced [brɔ̂ːd na kûpi]) is a village located 12 km north of Delnice,[3] in the western part of Gorski Kotar in Croatia. A bridge connects it with Petrina in Slovenia. Its population is 207 (2011 census).[4]

History

Brod na Kupi was first mentioned on 22 February 1481 in a document freeing the citizens of Grič from tariffs in Brod and elsewhere.[5]

On 4 June 1657, as part of a delimitation between the possessions of the Zrinski family in Brod and those of the Frankapan family in Severin, a document was drawn up before a committee in Moravičke Drage consisting of baron Planker oberhautmann of Karlovac on behalf of Juraj IV Frankapan and Juraj Sili kapetan dvoranski and vicekapetan of Žumberak and Boltizar Babonosić prefect of Ozalj on behalf of Petar Zrinski. Those who gave testimony about the boundary were Martin Goljak (80), Matija Šnepergar (80), Mihajlo Šepec (80), Petar Butina (85), Petar Abramović (85), Lovro Crnković (85), Juraj Šnepergar (88), Juraj Podnar (90), Matija Goljak (90), Jakov Goršet (90), Jakov Butina (90) and Martin Blažević who claimed to be a centenarian and helped build the Turanj tower in Gornje Moravice when ordered by brothers Juraj and Nikola Zrinski.[6]: 6 

The volunteer fire department DVD Brod na Kupi was founded on 2 April 1882,[7] and is today part of the Požarno područje Gorski Kotar I. Its current commander is Milan Šokčević.[8]

In 1899, the notary of Brod, M. Pavelić, set out to excavate an easier path down to the source of the Kupa.[9]

Kingdom of Yugoslavia

In early August 1933, the local chapter of the HPS, PD "Hajdova hiša", was founded, with Matija Štimac as its temporary president. Already in November, its membership reached 28, and Antun Grgurić was elected president. Its founding members included the općinski načelnik, Mato Ofak, as well as Ivan Grčević,[a] Josip Šneler,[b] Štirl Karlo,[c] Martin Ožanić and others.[10] They initially met in the Općinski Dom, and their first major project that year was to mark and clear the path to the source of the Kupa, since it was visited by many foreign tourists every year. The clearing was done by the state forestry service.[11] Soon, however, "Hajdova hiša" had difficulty operating at all,[12]: 244  and it was liquidated on 12 November 1936.[13]: 227 

A 22 December 1939 decision as part of agrarian reforms by Ban Šubašić to confiscate the local forest property of the Thurn and Taxis family, Kálmán Ghyczy and Nikola Petrović resulted in a legal dispute known as the Thurn and Taxis Affair, in part because of the relative status of the family and in part because of the proximity to the Italian border.[14][15]

WWII

The Italians withdrew from Brod na Kupi on 20 January 1942. The Italians did not leave those towns along the railway, which they fortified with barbed wire[16]

At 21:30 on 30 April 1942, a group of Partisans from the 2nd battalion of the Notranjska Detachment and part of the 3rd battalion of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar Detachment attacked the outpost of the Croatian Armed Forces in Brod with multiple machine guns, simultaneously attacking the Financial Guard. There were around 120 Partisans with 5 machine guns against 10 Croatian soldiers. After a short battle, the soldiers were disarmed, and a Croatian soldier Luka Klanac was captured by the Partisans and taken to their camp. 4 financial guardsmen fled, later appearing in Delnice, while 6 were captured. On 1 May, about 300 rebels from the Croatian side moving along the road through Kuželj joined about 600 Partisans from the Slovene side and completed the capture of Brod, confiscating the soldiers' uniforms and imprisoning them in their barracks, eventually taking with them soldiers Mate Mese, Josip Stipetić, Domobran Mato Momitrović and Jure Tonković. They let Josip Ivančić and Marko Magličić go on 9 May. The fate of the Croatian garrison in Turke, which had been withdrawn to that village from Hrvatsko, remained unknown, save for Franjo Drašković. The Delnice-Brod connection was cut the same day by these Partisans, at 15:30. The Italian garrison of around 150 in Brod had retreated on 29 April to Kočevje and were poorly defended, but on 10 May, the Italian army entered Brod from all sides and the Partisans fled. The commander Josip Seleš, who had remained imprisoned, was thus freed along with Ivan Barković and Josip Soldatić.[17]

On 9 June, Partisans attacked Italian soldiers on the territory of Brod. The battle lasted 5 hours.[18]
