Altbacher

German: Altbacher // Gottscheerish: Pachrn // Slovenian: Stari Breg

Stari Breg was a village inhabited mostly by Gottschee Germans. A 1614 record stated that it consisted of three and a half plots of land (the Joke, Rigel, Peer, and Strausz farms). In the land register of 1754 it had seven half-farms. By 1770 it had 14 houses. In the fall of 1941 most of its original population was evicted, except for one Slovene family living in the village. After the Rog Offensive of 1942 a Partisan company was stationed in the vicinity for a month, and later the 3rd Company of the West Lower Carniola Detachment, which was later moved to new positions at Altlag and Royal Rock Hill (northeast of Neubacher. After the war the Slovenian family remained living in Altbacher. The former school building was converted into housing for collective farm workers, who cared for 60 to 70 head of cattle in two barns there.

The local church, dedicated to Saint Ursula, was a late-18th-century building that was heavily damaged in 1943. It was demolished in the 1960s.
