List of the desert areas in the Hochtaunuskreis

Landstein church tower ruins

This list shows the desert areas in the Hochtaunuskreis .

Preliminary remarks: The existence of desolations is typically proven by mentioning them in documents or on maps. The date of the first mention is therefore typically not a foundation date. It was founded earlier. The dating of the abandonment of the desert is even less precise. If there are no map details with the note "Wüstung", the point in time can only be estimated by the fact that the place name no longer appears in documents from a certain point in time. The localization is also mostly imprecise. Sources for this are field names or historical maps. The given geographic coordinates are therefore not to be understood as exact information. The variety of spellings is also typical. In some cases it is not possible to judge whether two names also referred to two places or whether these were just spellings.
