Here, on the so-called heath, was the deserted settlement "Elmsdorf". (Field names: auf dem Elmsdorf, Elmsdorfer Kreuz, Elmsdorfer Kirchhof).

The ponds near Elmsdorf (!), not Emsdorf, belong to a nature conservation area near the Elmsdorfer Kreuz. The town of 'Elmsdorf' used to be located here, which was abandoned after the turmoil of the 30 and finally the 7 Years' War. The residents moved to Emsdorf (Electoral Mainz) or Erksdorf (Hessian), but kept their fields, which later often led to disputes. The deserted cemetery was used as a military cemetery for the soldiers who died in the battle near Emsdorf. There is a memorial stone there today. A stone from the Elmsdorf church was used to renew (expand) the Emsdorf church in 1748. In 1760 it served as a hospital for those wounded in the battle on July 16, 1760 in the neutral Emsdorf, which was part of the Electorate of Mainz.
