Fall (Lenggries)


Fall is, or was respectively, a small village (Kirchdorf) in the Lenggries municipality in Landkreis Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, Upper Bavaria, Germany.

It is named after Faller Klamm, which is located northward. Older names were Am Fall oder Zum Faal. The village is mentioned first in 1280 as a single farm.

In 1954, the village was abandoned because of the construction of Sylvenstein Dam (Sylvensteinspeicher). The village was flooded intentionally in 1959. A newly built village with the same name was created at an height of 773 metres and 100 metres away from the former location.

As of March 20, 2015 the village had a population of 111. The village is connected via Bundesstraße 307. A road bridge (built in 1959) named Faller-Klamm-Brücke spans over the lake starting in the northeast and has a length of 329 metres.
