Pleusses

Gommelberg Chapel

Pleußen (bairisch: Pleissn) is originally a Angersdorf scale village in the district of Tirschenreuth in the administrative district of Upper Palatinate in northern Bavaria .

history

Pleußen was founded by monks from the Waldsassen monastery as a gardening business. During the plague wave in 1634, citizens from Waldsassen built a chapel on the Gommelberg. This is visited once a year on a pilgrimage.

Until the 19th century, the place was almost exclusively agricultural. As a result of the basalt mining on the Gommelberg and in Steinmühle, the first houses for workers were built. With the settlement construction in the 1950s and from the 1980s, the place continued to grow.

Together with Steinmühle and Gulg , it formed the community of Pleußen until the community reform, which resulted in the town of Mitterteich on July 1, 1972 . Part of the then community was added to Konnersreuth .

dialect

Northern Bavarian dialect is spoken in Pleussen . This is still relatively unadulterated.
