Piplockenburg
The village is about 1 km from Mannhausen. The name comes from a historical tradition, according to which in the Drömlingsland (at that time swamp area or moor) a castle that was fiercely contested. The Burgritter used whistles to reveal their location. The intruders fell for this trick and sank into the moor while attacking the castle. This is how the name “Piplockenburg” came about, which actually means “Piep lock in castle” - the whistling of the cunning lords of the castle to attract the enemies and then ultimately get rid of them in the moor.
Mannhausen
According to sources that have not yet been documented, Mannhausen is basically a town that emerged from a large prison in Drömling that was closed in the 11th or 12th century. "Long-time" or "lifelong" prisoners were held in this prison. There was an amnesty in the course of the closure of the prison, after which all inmates were faced with a sudden release and did not know where to go. Out of this emergency they founded a kind of commune with simple huts, in which they could initially settle and make makeshift living. Within the next few decades it became a village. Since the prisoners were exclusively men, the village was simply called "Mann-Hausen".
