The farms first documented in the 14th century belonged to the nearby Zabelstein Castle complex. However, agricultural conditions on the ridge were not favorable, and the farms were abandoned around 1840. Remains include the preserved cistern, the dried-up village pond, and some remains of walls. The fields and meadows are now all overgrown with forests.

The courtyards were first mentioned in the 14th century. Due to lack of water, farms were abandoned and the residents moved to the surrounding villages.
