history

Büchen was first mentioned in a document in 1480, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to have been between 1200 and 1300 at the end of the medieval clearing period.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Büchen farm was subject to tax in the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 twelve people lived in the village. In 1838, Büchen belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry under the name of Beucken within the Halver mayor . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had three residential buildings and three agricultural buildings at that time. At that time there were seven people living in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 21 residents who lived in three houses.
