![]() | A deletion request was submitted for this page on December 6, 2019. For an explanation and discussion, see Application page . As a rule, 14 days pass before a page is actually deleted. Reason: Wüstensachsen is a district of Ehrenberg (Rhön). The place is so small that it is really not worth dividing it into individual districts (the entire municipality has only 2500 inhabitants, desert Saxony just over 1000) and cannot be justified in terms of tourism. Since the Ehrenberg (Rhön) article is currently just an empty skeleton, the content of Wüstensachsen should be moved there. |
