Hoax?

Possibly. I think the original author needs to provide some sources They will probably all be in German though.

Doesn't seem to be anything in this. It's similar to one of the areas in norse cosmology, and there is already articles for each of those. I'll replace it with an article about the small german town of Ostheim on the Rhone, in Bayern

I believe Ostheim wasn't technically annexed by Bavaria in 1945 as is sometimes reported. At least prior to reunification, it was part of Thuringia but “administered by the Free State of Bavaria”. This was a strange situation since in order to reunify Germany the old states of eastern Germany had to reconstitute themselves in order to join the Bundes Republik Deutschland (West Germany) state by state. In other words between around 1946 and 1989 just prior to reunification, I don’t think there was a Thuringia existing in the DDR to which Ostheim could be a part of.

A military history confirmed it being an enclave that was a potential hot spot with Soviets in 1952. I also read it was the only enclave of Thuringia in Bayern.--CSvBibra 05:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
