Mestská časť Devín

Toto známe vinárske mestečko vyrástlo vďaka križovatke dvoch obchodných ciest “jantárovej” a “podunajskej”. Medzi prvé písomné zmienky o Devíne patrí listina z roku 1237 pod názvom “Villa Thebyn”, no rozvoj remesiel a strategická poloha mu zaručili, že už v roku 1428 nadobúda charakter mestečka. Mestečko bolo poddané Devínskemu hradu.

Geographically, Devín lies on the foothills of Devínska Kobyla next to the Devín Gate, a narrow stretch on the river Danube, which was viewed as the western gateway to the Kingdom of Hungary. It lies near the border between Slovakia and Austria which runs down the middle of the Morava and Danube rivers, and which previously formed part of the Iron Curtain between the Eastern and the Western Bloc.
