From the point of view of the settlement, it occupies a clear special position. One must not, of course, look at the form of the Siedel. The fact that the Dlmüßer villages do not find forest hooves lies in the space in which fie was founded, not in the people alone. There was no forest to be cleared here, the Siedelland was fertile and developed directly to the spa, which however was familiar and used to the settlers coming from the south of Moravia. The expansion of the German-Turkish island extends into the 14th century. 1zo6 is given to the Dlmüßer Bürgerschaft by King Wenceslas a forest called Horka, here a village should be founded "Alu. It is not yet decided whether this is one of the still today German villages or not.

In the reduction form as well as in the pronunciation of the sounding medium-high German b, in the folk language of the whole Jnsel Bavarian forms are shown: for the former only I is valid and the sound b is spoken in every position as p. It was the Thirty Years' War that changed the Bavarian basic structure in most villages of the People's Island, because in most cases the old substance of the population has not survived beyond the Great War.
