location

Board for the middle of Lower Franconia in Büchold

Büchold is north of Arnstein. The St 2294 running through the village leads south to Heugrumbach , where it joins the B 26 , and northwards, crossing the MSP 1 district road , to Gauaschach . In terms of landscape, Büchold is classified in the beginning of the Vor-Rhön and the eastern end of the Spessart. This region is also called Main Franconia . According to the Bavarian Surveying Administration, the geographical center of the Lower Franconia administrative district is on the western edge of the village (Dorfgraben) (at 50 ° 00'39 "north latitude, 09 ° 56'47" east longitude). That is why a plaque was unveiled by Ministerialdirigent Rainer Bauer and Mayor Anna Stolz on November 21, 2014 in the center of the village next to the former cattle scale.

history

8th to 14th century

The Franconian town was first mentioned in a document in a deed of donation from the Fulda monastery in 788 as "Buchulidi". In the 12th and 13th centuries, Johanniter had a religious settlement on the castle grounds. They were also the ones who had the parish church of St. John the Baptist built in the center of the village around 1320. It stood on today's school square until the 18th century and served as a church for the faithful in Büchold. The castle complex was first mentioned in a document in 1299, but is probably a bit older. Since the Order of St. John got into financial distress, he sold the castle to the Lords of Thüngen.

14th to 16th century

The Lords of Thüngen ruled the castle and Gut Büchold the longest - their reign lasted over 200 years. In 1498 they had a Nikolauskapelle built on the outskirts, which belonged to the castle. After the appearance of the reformer Martin Luther , the Thüngen aristocratic family changed to the evangelical confession around 1540 and, according to the rule of cuius regio eius religio, with them the rule of Büchold. The Lutheran denomination thus found its way into Büchold for around 50 years. In the course of this change of faith, the Nikolauskapelle was demolished and the old parish of Büchold was dissolved. The castle complex had a heyday under the von Thüngen lords, as it was expanded by them into a splendid renaissance castle .

17th century

Their successors were the Echter von Mespelbrunn, who carried out a strict re-Catholicization of the place. In 1598 they rebuilt the Nikolauskapelle on the outskirts and gave it a patronage of the Virgin Mary (Visitation of the Virgin Mary) with counter-Reformation intentions . In 1600 the parish of Büchold was re-established. In the same year a woman from Sachserhof was tortured and burned as a witch in the dungeon of the castle. In 1617, her son had a wayside shrine built between Büchold and Sachserhof in her memory. The Rosary Brotherhood was founded in Büchold in 1614. It received the Nikolauskapelle as a brotherhood church. Since this could no longer hold its numerous members, Philipp Christoph Echter had the chapel expanded from 1619 to 1622. The choir ceiling of the crossing depicting 180 plants in 50 fields and painted by Wolfgang Ritterlein († December 8, 1622) was completed in 1622. In this structural situation, the church of Büchold presents itself to this day.

18th century

The Lords of Dalberg (treasurers of Worms) brought Büchold to bloom again by laying out the baroque garden next to the castle in 1685 . After the Dalbergs did not produce any male descendants and the ruling line in Büchold became extinct, the rule of Büchold was sold to the Bishopric of Würzburg in 1719 and fell into disrepair. From around 1776 the impoverished Bücholder population used the dilapidated buildings of the once magnificent palace complex as a quarry for their houses. Since 1787 the brotherhood church on the outskirts of the village was used for church services, as the parish church of St. John the Baptist was in a dilapidated condition. In 1795 the parish church in the center of the village was demolished. In 1818 a private citizen in Büchold acquired the ruined castle ruins. His descendants used them as agricultural buildings until 2000.

The "bell tower" in the center of the village

19th century

Since the desire of the Büchold population to rebuild the parish church in the center of the village had failed several times for financial reasons, the political community of Büchold had a bell tower built from the remains of the old parish church in 1826. It was built on the site of the old church in order to be able to ring the bell more quickly in the event of a fire, as the way up to the Nikolaus church would have been too far in an emergency. Even today the “bell tower” strikes the time and rings the bell for the death of a Büchold citizen.

Again and again, plans were drawn up for a new church in the town center. An extension of the Nikolauskapelle to Kirchenstrasse had to be avoided for financial reasons. The last plans for a new church were made around 1850. On the night of August 11th to 12th, 1845, a window in the chancel of the church was broken into, the tabernacle was broken open and the valuable monstrance including an altar cloth was stolen.

The Büchold schoolhouse in the center of the village

In 1865 the new school house was moved into, where grades 1-4 were taught until the late 1980s. Since then, the students have been going to the primary school in Schwebenried. Today the "old school" is used by the music association, the Red Cross and the youth center.

In August 1895 Büchold was able to celebrate the first historically known first class of a priest from Büchold with Philipp Ulsamer. Philipp Ulsamer was born in Büchold in 1871 and died in Würzburg in 1953.

20th century

The place was connected to the telephone network in 1908 and received electricity in 1923. Five years later, water pipes were laid in the place. In 1935 the town of Büchold celebrated the second Primiz in Büchold's history with Paul Mons. Paul Mons was born in 1910 and died in 1984 in his retirement home in Bad Bergzabern in the Palatinate. In 1960 Kirchenstrasse was paved with cobblestones, which has been preserved to this day. The paving of the remaining village streets was not finished until 1969. The land consolidation program was carried out between 1966 and 1977 .

On July 1, 1972, Büchold became part of Arnstein as part of the municipal reform . In 1974 the partnership with the Schleswig-Holstein community of Todenbüttel was sealed. In 1988 the 1200th anniversary celebrations took place at Pentecost. In 2000 the Büchold parish celebrated its 400th anniversary after being rebuilt by the Echter von Mespelbrunn.

21st century

In 2003 the place took part in the competition "Our village should be more beautiful - Our village has a future" and won the gold medal at the district level. In the decision at the state level in 2004, Büchold received a bronze medal. In 2004 the sport fishing club put up small signs in the entire Bücholder corridor bearing the respective field names so that the younger generation, who no longer have to earn their living on the field, does not forget the field names.

In 2009 the new fire brigade and village community center was inaugurated. The construction work began in 2007, the plans go back to 2001. From 2008 to 2010, the new sports home, a modern stone building with an event hall, was built. The inauguration took place in 2010.

In 2009 the village renewal, which had been ongoing since 1986, was completed. A memorial plaque was attached to the schoolhouse as a reminder. The ruined castle was owned by the Mennig family until 2007. After the sale, it was renovated and restored from 2009 to 2011 and today consists of a newly built house and stables as well as the preserved keep, the vaulted cellar and the circular walls with tower hulls on the hill on the northern edge of the village.

In 2013, the 1225th anniversary celebration took place at Pentecost. The patron was Barbara Stamm, President of the Bavarian State Parliament.

In 2015, Büchold took part in the competition “Our cemetery - a place of dignity, culture and nature”, which was advertised for the Main-Spessart district. The Büchold cemetery took first place.

At Pentecost 2017, the place celebrated with Nicolas Kehl the third Primiz of a priest from Büchold with a village festival. In July of the same year, the Büchold theater group looked back on its 35th anniversary and celebrated with an open-air play in front of the Büchold Palace, which was attended by hundreds of visitors. The volunteer fire brigade also had an anniversary this year, it was 140 years old and celebrated with a three-day party on the sports grounds.
