The Malliehagen church ruins are a great hiking destination and photo opportunity; you will also find an information board and a nice rest area here.

The church of Malliehagen was first mentioned in 1322 and fell into disrepair after 1600, when the village high in the valley here was abandoned.
The foundation walls and a towering wall of the old church can be seen.
The Malliehagen cemetery was opposite the church.
I think this place has a special atmosphere. ☺️

The village of Malliehagen was first mentioned in 1322. Only God knows most of its history. However, excavations and the few medieval documents available indicate that the place was of considerable size and local importance. In particular, the old church, whose foundations have been uncovered and whose north-western wall stands like a last rock in the surf (one almost associates the remains of the wall with an erected element of the Berlin Wall), was very impressive for the time. The residents of the neighboring villages of Gierswalde, Vahle and Dinkelhausen (all of which survived) were married and buried in Malliehausen. The village must have had at least 30 buildings - 64 double graves have been archaeologically proven.

At some point and for reasons that are no longer clear, the Malliehausen residents gave up their village in the 15th/16th century, despite its strategically favorable location on the Uslar/Fredelsloh trade route. The information board on site speaks of a resettlement around 1450, the literature rather of a lack of profitability in agriculture and the resulting rural exodus to the surrounding settlements. According to the church records, Hans Mallieheger was the last resident to leave his home village in 1585 - no one would have liked to be in his shoes back then.

At least the vanished village has kept many names. The Malliehäger road leads from Dinkelhausen to the car park at the edge of the forest. The Malliehagenbach flows idyllically down the valley. And of course the village name has taken over the entire valley, the Malliehagental.
