Ogulin

{{unreferenced section|date=July 2014}}

There are several proposed etymologies for the name of Ogulin. Firstly that the surrounding woods needed to be cleared for a better defence of the town, so Ogulin received its name because of the resulting bare area ("ogolio" in Croatian) around it. There were a lot of lime-trees along the road from Ogulin towards Oštarije, and the people used to peel the bark, in order to get bass{{clarify|date=January 2016}}. It is suggested that Ogulin got its name from the verb to peel ("guliti" in Croatian). Neither proposal is historically confirmed.

Ogulin's history dates back to the fifteenth century, when it struggled against the Ottoman Turks. The exact timing of the building of the Ogulin tower has not been established. However, a document issued by Bernardin Frankopan in his town of Modruš at around 1500 AD marked off the boundaries of new castle between Modruš and Vitunj, and this is, at the same time, the first historical mention of Ogulin. Ogulin is known for the legend of Đula (also Zuleika or Zula) who threw herself into the abyss of the River Dobra because of an unhappy love affair. In the sixteenth century, it became a military stronghold against the Ottomans.

In the 16th century, Ogulin became a part of the Austrian Military Frontier, under the Ogulin Capitanate. Known captains include:{{cite book |date=1889 |first=Radoslav |last=Lopašić |chapter=Zapoviednici vojske u obrani Krajine hrvatske proti turskoj sili pod kraljevi iz kuće Habsburžke do god. 1750. |pages=464–473 |chapter-url=https://vojnakrajina.ffzg.unizg.hr/zapoviednici-vojske-i-obrane-krajine |title=Spomenici Hrvatske krajine |location=Zagreb |series=Monumenta spectantia Monumenta spectantia Historiam Slavorum Meridionalium |volume=XV,III |language=hr}}{{rp|468}}{{cite book |date=1835 |first=Franz Julius |last=Fras |publisher=Franz Suppan |chapter=Das Oguliner Regiment |pages=275–329 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PsVLAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA275 |title=Vollständige Topographie der Karlstädter-Militärgrenze mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die Beschreibung der Schlösser, Ruinen, Inscriptionen und andern dergleichen Ueberbleibseln von Antiquitäten: nach Anschauung und aus den zuverlässigsten Quellen dargestellt für reisende, und zur Förderung der Vaterlandsliebe |location=Zagreb |language=de |trans-chapter=The Ogulin Regiment}}

For a brief time, between 1809 and 1813, Ogulin was a part of the Illyrian Provinces.{{cite web|url=http://www.tz-grada-ogulina.hr/ogulin/povijest-ogulina/|title=Povijest Ogulina - Turistička zajednica Grada Ogulina|website=Tz-grada-ogulina.hr|access-date=13 January 2018|archive-date=31 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180131114944/http://www.tz-grada-ogulina.hr/ogulin/povijest-ogulina|url-status=dead}}

In the late 19th century, a Matica hrvatska branch opened in Ogulin, with 55 members in 1891.{{cite news |date=1891-10-11 |author=Urednik |title=Matica hrvatska |page=4 |url=http://dnc.nsk.hr/DataServices/ImageView.aspx?id=d0b83021-03a4-4d9a-a073-06bf90e820c9 |newspaper=Svjetlo |issn=0353-9180 |volume=6 |issue=41 |language=hr}}

Until 1918, Ogulin was part of the Austrian monarchy (Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, Modruš-Rijeka County, after the compromise of 1867), in the Croatian Military Frontier.Handbook of Austria and Lombardy-Venetia Cancellations on the Postage Stamp Issues 1850-1864, by Edwin MUELLER, 1961. It was administered by the Oguliner Grenz-Infanterie-Regiment N°III before 1881.

During WWII, 2743 people were killed in the kotar of Ogulin, of which 1592 by Croats, 671 by Italians, 438 by Germans and 41 by Serbs.{{rp|369}}

On 11 April 1941, the new NDH authorities made {{ill|Lovro Sušić|hr|Lovro Sušić}} administrator of the kotar of Ogulin.{{cite journal |date=2011-12-01 |first=Filip |last=Škiljan |title=Teror ustaškog režima nad srpskim stanovništvom na području kotareva Vrbovsko, Delnice i Ogulin u proljeće i ljeto 1941. godine |pages=343-372 |url=https://hrcak.srce.hr/76399 |journal=Radovi Zavoda za hrvatsku povijest Filozofskoga fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu: Radovi Zavoda za hrvatsku povijest Filozofskoga fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu |eissn=1849-0344 |volume=43 |issue=1 |language=hr |trans-title=Terror of the Ustasha Regime against the Serbian Population in the Territory of the Vrbovsko, Delnice and Ogulin Districts in the Spring and Summer 1941}}{{rp|349}}

It was in Ogulin that Ante Pavelić gave his first speech on 13 April 1941 as he travelled to Zagreb. He was greeted by priest Ivan Mikan, who served in Ogulin from 1937 until his death in 1943, and wore a cylindrical hat for the occasion, believing the arrival of Pavelić would be solemn only to feel silly when it wasn't. Two or three hymns were sung and then Pavelić gave his speech, full of threats against the Serbs and praise for the Italians who brought him there (no Germans were in attendance).{{cite journal |date=2011-12-01 |first=Filip |last=Škiljan |title=Teror ustaškog režima nad srpskim stanovništvom na području kotareva Vrbovsko, Delnice i Ogulin u proljeće i ljeto 1941. godine |pages=343-372 |url=https://hrcak.srce.hr/76399 |journal=Radovi Zavoda za hrvatsku povijest Filozofskoga fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu: Radovi Zavoda za hrvatsku povijest Filozofskoga fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu |eissn=1849-0344 |volume=43 |issue=1 |language=hr |trans-title=Terror of the Ustasha Regime against the Serbian Population in the Territory of the Vrbovsko, Delnice and Ogulin Districts in the Spring and Summer 1941}}{{rp|348}}

In Ogulin and its environs, the early arrests in May mostly targeted JRZ members like Dragan Žagrović and Pero Piškur, as well as its sympathisers, including Joso Kušer, Laslo Havelić and Roko Kučinić. Arrests did not begin in earnest until May. Other prominent JRZ members in Ogulin at the time included Vlado Bosnić, Đuro Tatalović and Stevan Čurčić.{{rp|352}}

On 8 May 1941, an article titled "Order and work in Ogulin" ({{langx|hr|Red i rad u Ogulinu}}) was published in {{ill|Hrvatski narod (newspaper)|lt=Hrvatski narod|hr|Hrvatski narod (Zagreb)}}, describing the taking down of various signs put in place by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, in place of which Croatian flags were placed. It described the process of "cleansing" Ogulin of Serbs loyal to the House of Karađorđević.{{rp|351}}

On 3 June, an Ustaša ralley with over 12,000 in attendance was held at Ogulin. Priest Mikan presided over the mass, followed by a speech from {{ill|Jozo Dumandžić|hr|Jozo Dumandžić}}.{{rp|351}}

On 9 June, Lovro Sušić, by that time Minister of People's Economy, wrote to in Hrvatski narod, "We don't want a bloody cleansing," ({{langx|hr|Nećemo krvavog čišćenja}}) but "the Serbs must move" ({{langx|hr|Srbi moraju seliti}}).{{rp|351}}

On 30 June and 16 July, lists of Serbian and Jewish workers on the territory of the Ogulin kotar who had not achieved the right to a pension were made. From these lists, it is apparent that state workers of Serb ethnicity numbered 144 at the time, the largest portion of which worked in the railway industry, and the remainder in schools, the kotar court, the kotar itself, the općina, or the forestry service.{{rp|350,351}}

On 1 July, Pavelić founded the {{ill|Velika župa Modruš|hr|Velika župa Modruš}} with its seat in Ogulin, by merging Ogulin with Slunj, Vrbovsko and Delnice.{{rp|350}}

In late June or early July, a Serbian Orthodox priest in Ogulin was arrested. In early July, he had not yet been sent away. As of a 15 July document, all he had been sent to a concentration camp.{{rp|359}}

A 2 July order was made for all Velike župe, including that of Modruš (with seat in Ogulin), to make room for 2500 Slovenes each, who were to occupy the homes of 2500 Serbs, to be deported to the GMS, prioritising businessmen and merchants. Ogulin itself was to accommodate 300 Slovenes. As of mid-July, there were not enough empty Serb homes to accommodate the exchange.{{rp|365}}

A new wave of arrests began in July. On 5 July, Dušan Ivošević was arrested and the court in Zagreb sentenced him to 10 years of imprisonment for saying the murder of Josip Mravunac that preceded the Blagaj massacre was perpetrated by the Ustaše and not the Četnici, as had been formally announced to the public. On 8 July, he was placed in detention in Ogulin, and shortly after that 27 KPJ members, of which 25 were Croats, were arrested in Ogulin.{{rp|360}}

Around July 8, the Ogulin kotar began the process of deporting the families to the Sisak concentration camp on a list of 55 people marked for moving to make room for Slovene arrivals, from Jasenak, Josipdol, Munjava, Trojvrh and Vajin Vrh. The deportations were never carried out thanks to Pavelić interrupting the process, but thanks to the mass arrests scaring the Serbs off, none of the attempted arrests in this area succeeded, since none of the named could be found at their house. So great was the fear that women would flee at the sound of a suspicious car.{{efn|"Zbog učestalih zločina žene budno paze na svaki auto i čim opaze nekakav dolazak sumnjivog automobila, odmah bježe."}} So the kotarski predstojnik of Ogulin proposed to wait 8 to 10 days until the atmosphere was calmer. Pavelić himself stopped the process, so that deportations of Serbs from the NDH became rare after August 25, and they were entirely stopped on 22 September, thanks to the military implications for the Wehrmacht of the Drvar uprising.{{rp|367}}

On 30 July, many Serbs from Ogulin and the surrounding villages were arrested at the market in Ogulin, having come there to sell. Beginning with the next market on 6 August, the Serbs stopped coming out of fear that it would happen a third time, the first having been in May. The second uncle of Milka Bunjevac, a Vučinić with a prominent job at the railway station, was to be arrested that day, but he was warned by an Ustaša that he should flee "wherever he knows" ({{langx|hr|kamo god zna}}) because that night he would be arrested. Vučinić then boarded a train from Ogulin to Gomirje, arriving at his sister's house around midnight and then fleeing to the GMS two or three days later.{{rp|361}}

In August 1941, the Minister of Sport and Mountaineering of the NDH, Miško Zebić, named Oskar Vičević as the state povjerenik of the HPD "Klek", and designated as the chapter's advisory board: Mijo Hačko, Ivan Stipetić, Zvonko Pohorčić, Štefica Abramović, Pero Špehar, Mirko Kolić.{{cite magazine |date=August 1941 |first=Miško |last=Zebić |title=Promjene u upravi H.

At 17:00 on 10 June, 3 Ogulin residents, Joso Jurašić, Ivan Oskoruš and Ivica Miškulin, were cutting wood on the Čokolka hill near Ogulin when they encountered 4 Partisans in civilian uniform but Partisan caps, who commanded them to raise their hands in the air, asking them if they were Ustaše. When they replied that they weren't, they told Jurašić to come with them because he had been an Ustaša earlier, letting the other two go.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=399}}

On the 13th, Partisans confiscated 18 head of large and 22 of small livestock from a meadow in the immediate vicinity of Ogulin.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=328}}

During the Battle of Tržić on 19–23 June 1942, the Domobran commander Ivan Stipac was wounded in the leg and captured by Partisans of the {{ill|Second Kordun People's Liberation Partisan Detachment|lt=Kordun Partisan Detachment|sr|Други кордунашки партизански одред}}, who took him to Tobolić.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=313}}

At 10:00 on 24 June, a group of 150 Italian soldiers armed with rifles and machine guns entered the forest on Kobiljak hill to cut firewood, but were attacked by Partisans. A battle ensued, in which 4 Italians and 5 of their donkeys were killed, 6 were wounded, 20 captured and 20 captured but released completely naked. One Partisan was killed and one captured and taken to Ogulin for questioning.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=355}}

When the German and Italian Zones of Influence were revised on 24 June 1942, Ogulin fell in {{ill|Zone II (NDH)|lt=Zone II|hr|Druga zona (NDH)}}, administered civilly by Croatia but militarily by Italy.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=341}}

On 2–3 July, the Italian garrison in Ogulin repelled a Partisan attack on Ogulin itself, following which the Partisans retreated to Klek.{{sfn|Trgo|1964|p=390}}

The town of Ogulin is situated in the very centre of mainland Croatia, between Zagreb and Rijeka. It was founded in a large valley formed by two rivers: the Dobra and Zagorska Mrežnica. The administrative constitution of the town of Ogulin covers the area of 543.32 km²,{{cite web|url=http://www.ogulin.hr/o-gradu/polozaj|title=Položaj|website=Ogulin.hr|access-date=13 January 2018}} and has about 14,000 inhabitants according to 2011 census.

This is a kind of transitional micro-region neighbouring the larger regions of Croatia - Gorski Kotar, Lika, Kordun and Gornje Pokuplje. The Ogulin-Modruš valley is the northern section of the Ogulin-Plaški valley,{{cite journal | language = hr | title = Položaj i povijesni pregled ogulinskog kraja | first = Petar | last = Nežić | journal = Šumarski list | issue = 7–9 | year = 1987 | page = 318 | publisher = Croatian Forestry Society | issn = 0373-1332 | access-date = 26 September 2020 | url = https://www.sumari.hr/sumlist/198707.pdf }} which finishes towards the south where the Modruš hills pass into the second largest field of the area under Kapela-Plaški Polje. This comprises a completed geographical whole border on the western side by the mountain massif of Velika Kapela dominated by Klek (1181 m). Its eastern edges are bordered by the mounts of Krpel ({{convert|511|m|0|abbr=on}}), Brezovica ({{convert|565|m|0|abbr=on}}) and Hum ({{convert|863|m|0|abbr=on}}). The valley then passes to the hilly are dominated by Klekinja ({{convert|504|m|0|abbr=on}}) and Trojvrh ({{convert|599|m|0|abbr=on}}). This valley is also called Ogulin's Plain (in Croatian: Ogulinsko Polje). This is the fifth largest karst valley in Croatia ({{convert|60|km2|0|abbr=on}}), and it lies {{convert|320|m|0|abbr=off}} above sea level. Its elongated form lies in the direction northwest-southeast, and it is {{convert|16|km|0|abbr=on}} long (Ogulin-Trojvrh) and {{convert|9|km|0|abbr=on}} wide (Desmerice-Skradnik). The Dobra River runs through and disappears in the center of the town.

Approximately three kilometers south of the town centre is an artificial lake Sabljaci, formed with the purpose of accumulating water from the Zagorska Mrežnica river, and for the sake of generating electricity in the Hydroelectric power plant Gojak. The lake is connected with the town's other artificial lake, lake Bukovnik, via a tunnel. Lake Bukovnik is approximately one kilometer away from lake Sabljaci, and is connected to the hydroelectric power plant Gojak also with a tunnel, approximately 10 km long. The surface area of lake Sabljaci is around 170 ha, which makes it the 11th Croatian lake when compared by size. The lake contains many kinds of fish species, and it is also used for swimming and various water sports.{{Cite web|title=Rivers and lakes ("Rijeke i jezera" in Croatian)|date=2 July 2009 |url=https://www.ogulin.hr/rijeke-i-jezera/|access-date=2020-06-10}}

This church was built in 1781 in the middle of the town, in the Park of King Tomislav. Consecrated on June 1, 179, it reflects the spirit of the time with its pleasing external appearance and the richness of various sculptural decorations. The town of Ogulin celebrates September 14 as the fest day of its patron Saint of Extolling of the Cross.

Bernardin Frankopan, the son of Stjepan, and the founder of the town of Ogulin, erected a chapel in 16th century both for nobleman and ordinary people within the castle. It is devoted to St Bernardin. This chapel was the parish church from 1521 until the building of the church of St Cross in 1781. Today, only the altar has been preserved.

This chapel was built at the entrance to the town in the first half of 19th century as a votive church against cholera.

The Castle was built between 1493 and 1500{{cite journal|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/76997|title=Ivanina kuća bajke u Ogulinu, njihovu zajedničkom zavičaju|journal=Muzeologija|issue=43/44|date=December 2007|author=Dragana Lucija Ratković|language=hr|format=PDF|access-date=3 January 2017}} above the gorge of the River Dobra - Đula's abyss. The founder of the town was Bernardin Frankopan, one of the mightiest people of his time, and the feudal master of Modruš, Plaški, Vitunj, Tounj, Zvečaj, Bosiljevo, Novigrad and Dubovac. The Frankopans resided in the castle until 1533, when it was relinquished to the soldiers of the Military Frontier.

It belongs to the period of Renaissance castles. The town walls surrounded the courtyard area on three sides, while on the fourth there was a three-storey building with towers at the sides.

The tower eventually came to serve as the jail of the Sudbeni stol in Ogulin.{{rp|354}}

On 23 May 1941, the Ustaše raided Gornje Dubrave and carried away 29 of its residents, including the priest, railway workers, farmers, teachers and the innkeeper. Only a male and female teacher ever returned. The female teacher was raped in the Ogulin castle and was subsequently sent off to the Psychiatric Hospital "Sveti Ivan" in Stenjevec.{{rp|353}}

From 28 May through 1 June, about 70 figures from Ogulin and the surrounding area were arrested and imprisoned in the tower. Some at their homes, but most at the market or returning from it. This was in connection with a visit of Lovre Sušić to Ogulin, ostensibly for his security. Those imprisoned included the following better-known Serbs: doctor Živanović, the priest Ilija Đurčić, professors Papjevski, Stanislav Kepljevski and Grga Hećimović, students Đuro Tatalović and Žarko Momčilović, retired županijski podvornik Borojević, forest engineer Nestorović, forester Grozdanić, carpenters Đuro Tatalović and Milan Agbaba, surveyor Vlado Bijelić, store manager Bata Mićo Matijević, merchants Miloš Vuksan, Vladimir Bosnić, Ilija Ivošević, Nikola Manojlović and Vladimir Mrvoš, judge Marinko Đurić, Vlado Papić, Ivica Stošić and some others. Numerous first and second hand accounts survive.{{rp|353}}

The County Museum of Ogulin was opened in July 1967 in several of the Frankopan Castle halls that were being renovated and prepared between 1960 and 1967. At the time of opening it hosted a collection of works related to the workers movement, and NOB, while today it is hosting collections of various kinds: collection of stone monuments, collection of Croatian War of Independence, ethnographic collection, the memorial room of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić (a renowned Croatian fairy-tale author), mountaineering, archaeological collection, Cell number 6, and an exhibition of the academic painter Stjepan Galetić born in Ogulin. The museum also collects objects related to old crafts and trades, old weaponry, old photographs, and the collection of postcards and greeting cards.{{Cite web|title=Zavičajni muzej Ogulin|url=https://zavicajni-muzej-ogulin.hr/o-muzeju/|access-date=4 June 2020}}

Considering that the County Museum of Ogulin is the only museum in the entire area between the cities of Rijeka and Karlovac, it is the only institution that works on preserving the valuable cultural and historic heritage of that wider area, and as such its task is to collect, process, present and publish the historical and cultural works, documents, and other artistic artefacts from the area of Ogulin and its neighbouring areas.

The monument was erected in 1925, for the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the Croatian kingdom. It stands in the Park of King Tomislav which was planned and arranged in the 18th century. The monument was made according to the design of the Slovenian architect Vitburg Meck, and was repaired in 1990.{{cite web|url=http://www.tz-grada-ogulina.hr/en/fairytales-homeland/cultural-historical-monum-5/|title=The King Tomislav Monument - Turistička zajednica Grada Ogulina|website=Tz-grada-ogulina.hr|access-date=13 January 2018}}

This classic building is also erected in the Park. It represents a memorial to the Ogulin aqueduct and was built by colonel Stevan Šuplikac from Ogulin in 1847. Water flowed from the spring through wooden tubes which were lately replaced by the clay, and in 1882 by the iron tubes. For Cesarovac source is connected and a legend. Water flows into the source, comes from a source located at the foot of the mountain Klek. And as on the mountain Klek lived a witch, so the water is magical. Legend says, that women who drink the water from the springs, will remain forever young. And men who drink water from springs, water will be captured to forever remain in this city, who you will fall in love with a woman from Ogulin, and by the end of life remain to live in Ogulin.
