It was nothing short of a miracle that the army was fed and housed by such a small community. The people were terrorized and the town hall was burned down during this invasion. What livestock, seed and produce that remained after the army left is unknown, but the next winter was mild and the following harvest was so plentiful that even greater negative effects were averted. <br><br>In January 1968, Wüstendittersdorf was included in the Schleiz LPG.<br> | Wüstendittersdorf suffered destruction during the French-Prussian war when Jerome Bonapart marched 100,000 troops and 15,000 horses through the area of Schleiz in October1806.
