Hell , now a desert , was part of the Geroldsee municipality in the former Parsberg district in Upper Palatinate . The settlement was relocated with the municipality of Geroldsee in 1951 because of the American military training area to be built at Hohenfels .

history

The Einöde Höll (e) is officially mentioned for the first time in 1867 as a district of the Geroldsee municipality. At that time it consisted of 2 buildings in which 4 residents lived. Ecclesiastically the property belonged to the parish of Velburg in the diocese of Eichstätt . It was a rural business; in the cattle census in Bavaria in 1873, 5 cattle out of the 5 cattle counted in 1871 were kept. According to the other official registers, the only residential building in the desert had 3 residents in 1900, 11 in 1925, 7 in 1938 and in 1950 each.

In the course of the formation of a military training area for US and NATO troops, the municipality of Geroldsee was evacuated by October 1, 1951, with the exception of the district of Dantersdorf outside the military training area, and its residents were relocated; On January 25, 1952, the government of Upper Palatinate decided to place Dantersdorf on March 25, 1952, part of the Velburg community . On October 6, 1958, the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior ordered the liquidation of the remainder of the Geroldsee municipality. With that, the wasteland of Hell became extinct and the military training area turned into a desert.

legend

In the work "Sitten und Sagen aus der Oberpfalz" by Franz Schönwerth, published in 1857/59, it is said that a cauldron-shaped valley called "Hell" descends from the mountain "Himmel" west of Geroldsee; There is only one family living there whose appearance is "strange".
