"Urbar" is also the name of a village near Koblenz... Explanation: .., not very far from the Wichsensteiner Fels. Maybe this is what you mean? (But I still don't know what the article "das" is doing here...) From the link below: "Urbar, das bei Kriegsende knapp 500 Einwohner hatte, zählt heute fast 900 Einwohner. [...] In wenigen Schritten haben wir dann den Mittelpunkt des Dorfes erreicht. Hier steht die katholische St.-Antonius-Kirche mit einem Barockaltar aus dem Jahre 1715 und zwei Glocken von 1418 bzw. 1422." Reference: http://www.st.goar-oberwesel.de/Ortsgemeinden/urbar.htm |
