Dogoše ( ) is a village and a suburb of Maribor on the right bank of the Drava River in northeastern Slovenia in the City Municipality of Maribor. ==Name== Dogoše was first attested in 1458 as Lendorf (and in 1763–87 as Dragosche, Landorf). Based on the 18th-century transcription, the toponym is derived from the personal name Dragoš. The name is believed to have originally been Dragoši, meaning 'Dragoš and his people'. ==History== Early settlement of the area is attested by the remnants of a building from antiquity along the road to Brezje (now part of Maribor). In addition to the building's foundations, the find included a small marble trough, which has been converted into a holy water font in the church in Brezje. Gold and silver Roman coins have also been found in the area. A fire station was built in Dogoše in 1928. Water mains were installed in the village in 1969. ===Mass graves=== Dogoše is the site of five known mass graves associated with the Second World War, known as the Tezno Woods 2–6 mass graves. ==Cultural heritage== A post-Baroque chapel shrine with simple furnishings stands along the road to Brezje. There is a large, masonry column-shrine from the first half of the 18th century along the road to Miklavž na Dravskem Polju. ==Notable natives== Vekoslav Strmšek (1864–1907), educator ==References== ==External links== Dogoše on Geopedia
