Podšentjur (pronounced [pɔtʃɛnˈtjuːɾ] or [pɔtʃənˈtjuːɾ]; German: Sankt Georgen[2]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia.
The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola.
It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.
[2] The local church is dedicated to Saint George (Slovene: sveti Jurij) and belongs to the Parish of Litija.
