history

First mention

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1303 when the Eichstätter Bishop Konrad II. Von Pfeffenhausen from Heinrich zu Gunzenhausen, called Vögelein, bought the tithe from among others from "Buechelberch", which Heinrich had from the church Eichstätt as a fief. But Büchelberg is older; Already in the 12th century the Heilsbronn monastery owned the lost Brucca estate in today's Büchelberger Flur Brücklein. The place name is interpreted as a "settlement on the mountain overgrown with (young?) Beeches."

14th to 18th century

Documents show that Ulrich von Muhr and the Schenk von Arberg from the Eichstätter Bishop were feudal owners in Büchelberg in the 14th century . As the fief of the Count of Hirschberg, the Knight of Konstein owned Büchelberg. Ulrich von Neuenmuhr owned another fiefdom . In the course of the 14th century, other landowners were Heinrich von Muhr, named von Konstein (1315), Heinrich von Lentersheim (1378), Konrad von Lentersheim the Younger, both feudal people of the Counts of Oettingen , Daniel Tanner zu Arberg and Hans Birgkenfelsen (1384 bis Early 15th century). They usually held several goods.

In 1415, Count Ludwig von Oettingen sold an estate to Agnes Stromair ( Stromer ) from Nuremberg , from whom it was passed on to her son-in-law Andreas Wernitzer three years later. The fiefdoms of the Eichstätter bishop were Jörg, Hans and Siegmund von Lentersheim and Michael Tanner. In the period around 1460/70 Büchelberg belonged to the parish of Graefensteinberg , whose patron saint was the Bishop of Eichstätt. It stayed that way until 1728; however, since the Reformation in 1532 , the residents of Büchelberg went to church in Laubenzedel.

In the 16th century the von Lentersheim appeared in documents as the fiefdom of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach . In 1549 "Püchelberg was predominantly one of those from Lentersheim"; a sheep farm, which is often mentioned in documents, was owned by the rulership of Neuenmuhr and eight “little estates” were partly owned and partly fiefs of the Eichstätter bishop.

In the 17th century, 13 Büchelberg subjects were "lentersheimisch"; nine courtyards were subordinate to the caste office Gunzenhausen and the Lords of Crailsheim-Sommersdorf, while the high jurisdiction lay with the Ansbach margravial, from 1791/92 Prussian Oberamt in Gunzenhausen. In the Thirty Years' War the Swedes burned Büchelberg in 1632. In 1652 only one of the eleven Büchelberg estates was still inhabited. Upper Austrian exiles were also involved in the reconstruction after the war . In 1670 a large part of the Lentersheim farms became margraves. The margraves set up a quarry near Büchelberg.

In 1728 Büchelberg was parish off to Laubenzedel. Around the middle of the century, a water pipe made of wooden pipes was built from the Büchelberger Flur to Gunzenhausen on the orders of the margraves. At the end of the century, in 1799, when the von Lentersheim family died out, the property fell to the Count of Oettingen.

From the 19th century to the present

On January 1, 1806, Büchelberg became Bavarian with the former Prussian Principality of Ansbach as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . The municipality of Büchelberg, which also included the Fischhaus desert, belonged from 1808 to the Laubenzedel tax district in the district court / rent office (from 1939 district) Gunzenhausen and from 1818 to the Laubenzedel rural community in the new Rezatkreis , which was renamed the Central Franconia administrative region in 1838 . At that time, Büchelberg was an independent municipality (from 1824). By 1822, 21 families belonged to the Altenmuhr patrimonial court. In 1818 the place with fish house had 150 inhabitants, in 1824 112 inhabitants. In 1939 the population was 131. Between 1875 and 1904 Fischhaus lost its status as a district and became part of Büchelberg.

From the 17th to the 20th century hops were grown , which then gave way to potato cultivation . After the Second World War , the population of Büchelberg rose sharply due to the influx of displaced people . It was 918 in 1950, but then fell again and in 1966 was 222. In the 1960s, the place joined a water supply association and built a sewer network with a sewage treatment plant. Above the village, the Gunzenhausen Deaconess Mother House Hensoltshöhe built a retirement home for elderly deaconesses from 1962 to 1964 , which was expanded ten years later; a care wing was added in 2003. In 1971 the parish hall from 1924 with its bell tower was demolished and replaced by a new fire station.

The municipality of Büchelberg was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on January 1, 1978 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria . In 1982 there were 381 inhabitants. In 1994/95 the Büchelberg volunteer fire brigade , founded in 1899, received a new fire station .

From around 1800 to 1939, Büchelberg's hops were grown in the corridor, and in 1860 by the owners of all 30 properties in the village.
