Data Point related to: CITY/TOWN
Videm consists of two hamlets: Mali Videm (literally, 'little Videm') is the core of the settlement around Holy Cross Church, and Veliki Videm (literally, 'big Videm') is located to the northwest, along the road toward Predstruge.
Videm was first attested in written sources in 1355 as ze dem Wydem (and as zu dem Widem in 1436, and an dem Widem in 1444). The name comes from the Slovene common noun videm 'church property', borrowed from Middle High German videme 'church property' (originally, 'property left by the deceased to the church'). In the past the German name was Widem.
A part-time school was established in Videm by 1793 in the old sexton's house. This was torn down between 1837 and 1857, and a school building was built at the site. A new school building was built in 1908. The village was burned by German forces during an offensive in the fall of 1943.
Videm stands at the northern end of the Dobrepolje karst polje. Gorica Hill (471 m) rises east of the village, and Videm Hill (Slovene: Videmski hrib, 628 m), also known as Little Hill (Slovene: Mali hrib), rises to the west. Three permanent springs known as the Videm Springs (Slovene: Videmski zdenci) are located in the western part of the settlement. There is no railway station in the village and its rail connection is provided by Dobrepolje railway station 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) away in Predstruge.
