Germelshausen is an 1860 story by Friedrich Gerstäcker concerning a cursed village that sank into the earth long ago and is permitted to appear for only one day every century. The protagonist is a young artist (Arnold) who happens to be traversing the area as the town appears. He encounters, and becomes smitten with, a young woman (Gertrud) from Germelshausen. The romantic tale ends with him leaving the vicinity just in time to avoid becoming entombed with the village and its denizens, but thereby being forever separated from his love.

  • Germelshausen ist eine Wüstung in Thüringen und neben einer Erwähnung in Ludwig Bechsteins Thüringer Sagenbuch heute vor allem bekannt durch die literarische Verarbeitung in der gleichnamigen Geschichte von Friedrich Gerstäcker aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, in der das Verschwinden des Ortes eine phantastische Note erhält. (de)
  • Germelshausen es una historia de escrita a mediados del siglo XIX sobre un pueblo abandonado en Turingia, Alemania, que se hundió en la tierra hace mucho tiempo y reaparece un solo día cada siglo. El protagonista es un joven artista (Arnold) que recorre el lugar en el momento de la aparición de la ciudad y se enamora de una joven, Gertrud, que le cuenta la historia de Germelshausen. La romántica historia termina con su precipitada salida de la zona, justo a tiempo para evitar ser sepultado con el pueblo y sus habitantes, pero separado de su amor para siempre. El concepto básico es un tema viejo alemán que aparece en las obras de Müller, Heine, Uhland y otros. La maldición puede afectar a una ciudad, un castillo, o incluso a una sola casa, pero el contenido narrativo es prácticamente igual. Germelshausen es ampliamente conocido por haber inspirado el musical Brigadoon y su adaptación cinematográfica. (es)

The romantic tale ends with him leaving the vicinity just in time to avoid becoming entombed with the village and its denizens, but thereby being forever separated from his love. The basic concept is an old German motif that appears in works of Mueller, Heine, Uhland and others. The curse may affect a town, a castle or even a single house, but the narrative content remains largely unchanged. Germelshausen is widely credited as having inspired the musical Brigadoon. However, Lerner denied that he had based the book on an older story, and, in an explanation published in The New York Times, stated that he didn't learn of the existence of the Germelshausen story until after he had completed the first draft of Brigadoon. Lerner said that in his subsequent research, he found many other legends of disappearing towns in various countries' folklore, and he pronounced their similarities "unconscious coincidence". (en)
