Sklené (German: Glaserhau; Hungarian: Turócnémeti) is a village and municipality in Turčianske Teplice District in the Žilina Region of northern central Slovakia.

## History[edit]

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1360. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, it was part of Turóc County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. Until the end of World War II his village was called Glaserhau and populated mostly by German Catholic farmers who had originally migrated here in the 1400 as gold miners. During the Slovak National Uprising Slovak partisans committed a massacre on 21 September 1944 among the German population of the village, killing 186 inhabitants. Since 1994 a memorial commemorates the victims.
