    We are in the middle of the lost village. Sit down and let the story sink in by the pond. Thank you to our neighbors who look after everything so carefully.

    Plöß was probably founded before 1600 by "Tausern", German settlers who settled or annexed Bohemian land from Taus. Plöß was first mentioned in a document in 1606. In 1789 it was listed as "Pleß" under the entailed rulership of Heiligenkreuz. In Sommer Plöß was mentioned in 1839 as a village with 54 houses and 483 inhabitants. The name "Plöß" probably comes from "nudity" - a clearing hewn into the forest. In 1913 Plöß already had 67 houses with 642 inhabitants. Wenzelsdorf and Straßhütte were districts of Plöß.
    The census of December 1, 1930 reports the following result for Plöß:
