    The plague is mentioned on the plaques - but that is probably not certain.

      The former settlement of Gilbertshausen could have existed as early as 700 AD. The inhabitants lived primarily from agriculture. Ekkehardt Löw, chairman of the home and history association Frankenbach, has researched the story and describes it in a short video:

        The Upper Verstal Valley is a quiet, beautiful place. Today, the valley is uninhabited.

        There used to be two hamlets here, both abandoned long before the Thirty Years' War. The wooden plaques commemorate this. We owe our knowledge of their history and the fate of their people in particular to the Frankenbach Local History and Heritage Society.
