List of desolations near Brilon
The list of deserted areas near Brilon contains deserted areas that are located in the area of today's city of Brilon . It does not claim to be complete.
The places listed here fell victim to the great desolation process in the Middle Ages . Not all of them were villages, some were also individual farms. It was probably a creeping, slow process that began around 1300. There are different theories about the reasons for leaving the places. Among other things, the attraction of the city of Brilon, plague epidemics and the need of the residents to seek protection in fortified cities are suspected .
Some of these desertions have been repopulated in modern times.
