In the late fall of 1941, German forces evicted the residents of the village in order to make way for the resettlement of Gottschee Germans. In 1964 the northern part of Žadovinek, known as Petrovce, was annexed by the town of Krško. The remaining part, known as Srednji Marof (German: Mittermaierhof)[2]: 79 remained separate as the village of Žadovinek.[4]
Late Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, and Roman graves have been found in the Petrovce area of the settlement.[5]
