Hattest

Hattest is an abandoned village located in the Black Forest region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The village lies within the Gais_VALTA 3a archaeological site and has been submerged underwater due to the construction of a hydroelectric dam.

Historical records indicate that Hattest was settled in the High Middle Ages, with the first written records dating back to the 13th century. The village has undergone periods of growth and decline throughout its history, with some evidence suggesting that it was once a major hub for trade and commerce.

Excavations conducted at the site have uncovered archaeological evidence of houses, wells, and other infrastructure from the medieval period. The findings have provided valuable insights into the lives of the people who inhabited Hattest during its time as a thriving village.

Today, Hattest remains largely forgotten and inaccessible to the general public due to its underwater location. The site has, however, attracted the attention of researchers and archaeologists who are interested in learning more about its history and cultural significance.

Efforts have been made to document and preserve the archaeological evidence that remains at the site, with the goal of gaining a deeper understanding of Hattest and its place within the broader historical context of the region. Despite its abandonment and inaccessibility, Hattest continues to hold important cultural and historical value, providing a unique window into the past for those interested in exploring its legacy.
