Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Bodie ist eine Geisterstadt in den Bodie Hills in Kalifornien/USA, die östlich der Sierra Nevada im Mono County liegt, etwa 121 km südöstlich des Lake Tahoe auf einer Meereshöhe von 2.554 m.
1876 wurde in Bodie eine sehr reiche Goldader entdeckt, die zu einem regelrechten "Goldrausch" führte. Die Stadt erreichte deshalb nur 4 Jahre später 7.000 bis 10.000 Einwohner und erlebte erst ihren Niedergang, nachdem alle Goldvorkommen ausgebeutet waren und Bodie somit ab 1940 eine Geisterstadt mit nur noch 20 Bewohnern wurde. Martin Gianettoni war im Jahr 1943 einer der letzten drei Bewohner von Bodie, der sich im Auftrag der Landbesitzer bis zuletzt um die rund 170 alten Gebäude kümmerte. 1962 erkannte das U.S. Innenministerium Bodie offiziell als nationales historisches Wahrzeichen an. Bodie gehört heute zu den am besten erhaltenen Geisterstädten der USA.

The abandoned town is situated about 121 km south-east of Lake Tahoe at an elevation of 2.554 m.
After the discovery of a profitable line of gold, Bodie became a „gold-rush“ boom town in 1876 and reached only 4 years later a population of 7000 to 10000. The town went into decline after all gold deposits were exploited and became a ghost town by 1940 with only 20 habitants. Martin Gianettoni was one of the last three people living in Bodie in 1943, who took care of the around 170 old buildings, mandated by the owners of the land. The U.S. Department of the Interior recognized the designated Bodie Historic District as a National Historic Landmark in 1962. Bodie is one of the best-preserved ghost towns in the United States.
