Two “Lost Places” (why DO the Germans call them that?) on 28 and 29 December

I will never stop wondering why the Germans call them Lost Places.

First of all, with the German propensity to translate everything into German, including for example Polish place names, then why use English words for this?

Secondly, the places are – obviously – not lost, so –

Thirdly, if English words have to be used for this, why not do as the English speakers and call them “abandoned places”, which is what they are?
