About 3 kilometers from Waldeck Castle was the village of Berich on a narrow rocky terrace. Next to the village of Berich there was a rich nunnery here. Before the dam was built, 134 people lived in Berich, all of whom, including their church, were resettled in Neu-Berich (approx. 25 km away near Bad-Arolsen).
The graves in the Berich cemetery were covered with stone slabs. The burial ground is constructed from a water level of 231,00 m above sea level. NN visible. Remains of the Eder Bridge, which was only built in 1899, only appear very rarely above a water level of 216,95 m above sea level. NN.
A support association has set itself the task of preserving the former village site and lovingly repairing it every year.
