Pferdsbach, Kr. Wetterau, Hessen

So many inhabitants left the village of Pferdsbach, first for Russia and then for North America (mostly to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), that the village was abandoned in 1847.

Today, there is only a cemetery and a memorial to remind us that there was once a village of Pferdsbach.
