Zdihovo, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County

Zdihovo or Zdihovo Bosiljsko is a village in Croatia, under the Vrbovsko township, in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.

History

In 1860–1879, Matija Mažuranić wrote a 62 folio manuscript today titled Writings on the Building of Roads in Gorski Kotar and Lika (), today with signature HR- Za NSK R 6424. A 21 folio manuscript dated 1872 titled Darstellung der Entstehung des Baues ... der Luisenstrasse togethr with a translation by I. Mikloušić is kept as HR- Za NSK R 4572.

After the Lujzijana was built, the ''Družtvo lujzinske ceste'' constructed an inn in Zdihovo. In 1874, the society would sell all its assets along the road, including those in Zdihovo.

In 1864, a rinderpest outbreak in Bosanci and Kasuni caused the Lujzijana to be closed to horned traffic for 21 days in December.

On the day of the 1867 Croatian parliamentary election in Lukovdol općina, 8 December, SP partisan Marko Domitrović of Zdihovo arrived claiming to have been sent by Ban Levin Rauch and Grand Župan Mirko Bogović. First, before the elections, he went around urging voters to vote for the government's candidate, issuing threats to state workers that they would lose their jobs if they did not vote for the NUS. Then, once the elections had begun, he blocked the entrance to the poll in the parish priest's house with the justification that elections were to be held in the open, despite the locally snowy conditions. The president of the deputation, Radoslav Lopašić, together with secretary Kovačić, pointed out to Domitrović that he did not himself have the right to vote in Lukovdol as a non-resident, at which Domitrović angrily retorted that "in three days" he would "take him away to Zagreb in chains". Lopašić asked him to show a legal document granting him such rights, and when he failed to produce one, he pointed out to Domitrović that as a judge he could have him arrested, but did not because it was a Sunday and the bell rang for mass. Many listened to Domitrović anyway and some left for Plemenitaš, where J. Medved was ultimately chosen. The next day, judge Lopašić escorted Domitrović on his way to Zagreb, but only after getting Domitrović to sign an admission that he had been sent by Rauch and Bogović.

WWII

Vide Pečar and Slavko Rovan of Zdihovo were listed by as fallen antifascist soldiers in WWII. Slavko Pupić of Zdihovo was listed as a victim of fascism.

At 13:00 on 14 June 1942, a group of 80 Partisans took Zdihovo, posting guards along the road who prevented any traffic from going further toward Karlovac.

Around 7:00 on 19 June 1942, a group of 18 Partisans halted and commandeered an automobile belonging to Matija Rački of Severin, who had been transporting passengers to Karlovac. They commanded the owner and passengers to return to their homes, and directed the driver to take them to Ponikve, where they let Rački go but kept the automobile for themselves.
