In the year 1563, as well as in the following 1564, a cruel pestilence ravaged throughout Europe, especially in Germany, causing entire hamlets and villages to be wiped out to the extent of three, four, or even eight persons. In many places, so many were taken away that it was not believed that so many people had been there at all..	Wellendorf Chronik 2015, p. 348.	Translation by Martin Bauch
