the phrase actually means "from Hell." The Germans actually spell the word like this "hölle." The diacritical mark over the o is called an umlaut. When this vowel sound is pronounced, the umlaut indicates that the sounding of the o is to be changed. This vowel sound actually comes out sounding slightly like a cross between a short o and a short e sound.

Answer 3

The correct spelling ist 'aus der Hölle', if you dont have umlauts in your keyboard (the German letters with two dots above them, also called trema or diaeresis), you can also write 'Hoelle', etc.

As for the meaning, it simply means 'From hell'. Some nouns in German carry the definite article with them in some cases, especially if the object in consideration is definite and known, as in this case.
