Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Osredek to Osredek pri Podsredi in 1953.

Cultural heritage

On a hill known as Big Peak (Slovene: Veliki vrh) in the eastern part of the settlement, the remains of a prehistoric hillfort have been identified. Judging by finds of coins from the rule of Gallienus and Aurelian, the site was also used in the Roman period, probably as a refuge.
