Research note

Settlement disappearance: what the evidence currently supports.

Village relocation is treated as verified where the Hüser wording directly supports it. The Kreis-Brilon reservoir is recorded as documented by Hüser's secondary account.

The stronger claim that the Wewelsburg village itself was to be flooded is not established by the current evidence and is therefore not presented as fact.

Absence, relocation, demolition, flooding and planned replacement are different historical claims and must not be merged.
