I read once that there is a German word (or perhaps phrase), that developed during the Black Death, for a village that is "returning to the forest". Certainly the devastation suffered at that time by Germany (or more properly the Holy Roman Empire), combined with its low population density and high forest cover, makes the existence of such a word believable.
Can anyone identify this word for me?

The German Wikipedia article on Black Death (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzer_Tod) mentions the word Wüstung:
Unrentabel gewordene Grenzböden wurden aufgegeben, was in manchen Regionen dazu führte, dass Dörfer verlassen oder nicht mehr wiederbesiedelt wurden (sogenannte Wüstungen), die im Hochmittelalter im Zuge des Landesausbaus abgeholzten Wälder breiteten sich wieder aus.
This mentions that these villages have often be reconquered by the forest.
Wikipedia also has an article on the lemma Wüstung (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wüstung) which clarifies that this is not referring specifically to abandoned villages which have been taken back by the forest, but more unspecifically to any abandoned settlement.
I am not sure if there is a more specific notion which also indicates that the village has been reconquered by the forest.
The word Wüstung is derived from the adjective wüst which means empty, desert, waste and also rough, of characters also uncivilized. The German word Wüste (desert) also stems from this adjective.

Also note the adjective wüst. Es war eine wüste Rauferei. → no limits.
