1918–1920 A new state, the same roadNový štát, tá istá cesta

Austria-Hungary broke apart in 1918 and Spiš became part of Czechoslovakia; the Treaty of Trianon fixed the new borders in 1920. Spiš county, which had administered this country since the Middle Ages, was wound up, and the village went into the Levoča district. For a place on a through road the change of state changed very little day to day. But the German-speaking families of Spiš, whose ancestors had been invited in after 1241, now lived in a state where they were a minority — and twenty years later that would matter a great deal.Rakúsko-Uhorsko sa roku 1918 rozpadlo a Spiš sa stal súčasťou Československa; nové hranice potvrdila roku 1920 Trianonská zmluva. Spišská stolica, ktorá tento kraj spravovala od stredoveku, zanikla a obec pripadla do Levočského okresu. Pre miesto pri prieťahovej ceste sa zmenou štátu v každodennom živote zmenilo veľmi málo. Nemecky hovoriace rodiny na Spiši, ktorých predkov sem pozvali po roku 1241, však odrazu žili v štáte, kde boli menšinou — a o dvadsať rokov to malo veľmi zavážiť.
