history

Buchsweil Castle: the center of administration, also of the office

At the beginning of the 14th century, the lords of Lichtenberg administratively summarized the places of their rule that were located around their central place, Buchsweiler (today: Bouxwiller, Bas-Rhin) in the Buchsweiler office . It is said to be the oldest office of the Lichtenberg rule. With Andreas Schantz one is for the first time in 1357 bailiff name survived.

Due to the large increase in territory in the first half of the 14th century, the office was divided around 1330 and an office in Ingweiler was spun off and at the beginning of the 15th century the offices of Neuweiler and Pfaffenhofen . The Neuweiler office was later dissolved and its holdings were reorganized into the Buchsweiler and Ingweiler offices.

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) was the daughter of Ludwig V. von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474) one of two heirs with claims to the rule of Lichtenberg . In 1458 she married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480), who had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage. After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Buchsweiler office belonged to the part of Hanau-Lichtenberg that Anna's descendants inherited.

In 1513, the Buchsweiler office was used for a short time to provide a secondary school diploma for the younger brother of the ruling count, Philip III. To form Count Ludwig von Hanau-Lichtenberg . However, a year later he renounced this in favor of his brother Philip III, officially arguing that it would be more relevant if the county was governed by just one. What is behind this process cannot be determined due to the sparse tradition.

With France's reunification policy under King Louis XIV , the Buchsweiler office came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Buchsweiler - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) Of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the upheaval begun by the French Revolution , the Buchsweiler office became part of France and dissolved in the subsequent administrative reforms.

According to a census from May 1798, the office had 9,600 inhabitants.

Remarks

  1. The town charter was granted by the Roman-German King Rudolf I before 1291 (Eyer, p. 160).
  2. Hohatzenheim is assigned to the Amt Brumath in a very late source (cf. Knöpp, p. 4f), which Eyer, p. 238, took over. In fact, it belonged to the Buchsweiler office.
  3. Hohfrankenheim is assigned to the Amt Brumath in a very late source (cf. Knöpp, p. 4f), which Eyer, p. 238, took over. In fact, it belonged to the Buchsweiler office.
