Mosquito

Mücke is a municipality in the central Hessian Vogelsbergkreis.

The place name comes from the Celtic language. It is derived from "much" or "mack", which means something like damp and swampy. Documentarily, the name Mücke, in connection with this region, was first mentioned in 1482 in a tax list of the parish of Merlau. Before the territorial reform of 1972, there was no place with the place name "Mücke", but a railroad station Mücke on the route Giessen-Fulda (Vogelsbergbahn) and a postal place name "Mücke".
