1922 A plaque on the parsonageTabuľa na fare

Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918 and Kobeliarovo became an ordinary village of the Rožňava district in a state that badly needed Slovak heroes to point to. In 1922 a memorial plaque went up on the old parsonage where Šafárik had been born. It is worth noticing what that meant. A scholar who wrote in German and Czech, and who had argued against a separate written Slovak, was now claimed as a Slovak national figure — fairly, because he was one, and because he had handed the whole Slav world the argument that it had a history worth taking seriously. The house is a protected national cultural monument today.V roku 1918 vzniklo Československo a Kobeliarovo sa stalo bežnou obcou rožňavského okresu v štáte, ktorý súrne potreboval slovenské osobnosti, na ktoré by mohol ukázať. V roku 1922 osadili na starú faru, v ktorej sa Šafárik narodil, pamätnú tabuľu. Stojí za to všimnúť si, čo to znamenalo. Vedca, ktorý písal po nemecky a po česky a ktorý sa staval proti samostatnej spisovnej slovenčine, si teraz nárokovala slovenská národná pamäť — právom, lebo Slovákom bol a lebo celému slovanskému svetu podal argument, že má dejiny, ktoré treba brať vážne. Dom je dnes chránená národná kultúrna pamiatka.
