Neu-Berich Village

Neu-Berich is a district of Bad Arolsen in the northern Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg, which is the Berich that was relocated in 1912 and is now on the bottom of the Edersee.Neu-Berich is a relatively young place with a unique and hardly comparable past. When the Edertalsperre was built between 1908 and 1914 about 22 km (as the crow flies) further south, it was certain that the village of Berich in the Edertal would sink into the newly emerging Edersee. From 1908 onwards, the residents were looking for a new place to stay.A total of 150 families with 900 people in the Waldeck villages of Bringhausen and Berich as well as in Asel in Prussia had to give up their farms and were relocated. Most of them found their place above the future Edersee. For the others, the princely agricultural administration had suggested moving to the princely domain of Büllinghausen near Arolsen. Karl Meyer, architect and structural engineer at the Weserstrombauverwaltung in Hanover, designed the Neu-Berich settlement, in which eight farming families from Berich and nine from Bringhausen were settled. In addition, five craftsmen, an innkeeper, a day laborer, the community servant (police servant, shepherd and grave digger) and a teacher from the Edertal were added. In 1910 the structural preparations for Neu-Berich began, in 1911 the new village was built mostly on its own and in the Franconian style. It was inaugurated on July 13, 1912.

Some pretty half-timbered houses characterize the place.
Almost every one of these houses has a nice saying above the entrance door.
