history

middle Ages

Büschfeld was first mentioned in 802 in a border description by Charlemagne . On September 1, 802 it is mentioned as "Byschofsvelt" in a deed of donation from Charlemagne to Archbishop Weomad of Trier as a border point. Another mention as "Bischofsfeld" took place on May 15, 949 in an unequivocally genuine document from King Otto I. In 1220, Büschfeld is listed in the diocesan register ( property register of the Trier cathedral ) as "Bustvelt".

1272 appeared on October 21, a "cour de Bisfeldt" in a Lorraine document Duke Ferri III. It was there that the "Lords of Hagen" (de la Haye, de Hainne, de Haynne) were mentioned for the first time. With their fiefdom Büschfeld they seemed to be subordinate to Lorraine fiefdom.

In 1322 the Archbishop of Trier, Baldwin of Luxembourg, enfeoffed the "Castrum Bussefeld" ( Büschfeld Castle ) to the feudal man Johann von Chambley and his wife Beatrix. Their daughter Elisabeth married the wild count Otto von Kirburg for the second time . Archbishop Balduin enfeoffed both of them in 1350 with "Burg and Dorf Bischvelt". The oldest Lehnsbrief in Trier for the Lords of Hagen dates from December 6, 1368. After Otto von Kirburg's death, Thilmann von Hagen and his wife Else Bayer von Boppard were transferred to Nunkirchen , Lebach , Michelbach and Bardenbach as well as the "Veste, Herrschaft and Dorf Bisfelt" by Archbishop Kuno II of Trier, with goods and incomes (= income) enfeoffed. In 1439, the son of Thilmann I, Johann von Hagen, was enfeoffed by Archbishop Jakob I von Sierck with the Motte and Büschfeld castles with accessories and goods in Düppenweiler . His son Heinrich inherited this fiefdom from Hagen in 1444. On December 17, 1477, Thilmann II von Hagen was enfeoffed by the Archbishop of Trier Johann von Baden, among other things, with village and rule. 20 years later, on August 15, 1497 (Assumption of Mary), the Büschfeld and Bardenbach subjects were freed from serfdom in a "settlement" between the Archbishop of Trier and Elector Johann II of Baden and Friedrich von Hagen. When Johann Ludwig von Hagen became Elector of Trier (Johann IV., 1540–1547), he compensated his brothers for the damage inflicted on their father by Franz von Sickingen in 1522/1523.

Early modern age

The Hagen legacy of Motte and Büschfeld was divided on April 28, 1546 between the cousins ​​Nikolaus and Heinrich von Hagen. Büschfeld Castle and House fell to Nikolaus and his heirs.

Nikolaus died in 1547. He was buried in the church in Lebach. He was the actual founder of the Hagen sideline Büschfeld. His grave slab can still be seen in the Lebach church today. The Büschfeld fiefdom fell to his two sons, Kasper and Johann. Kasper was bailiff at St. Wendel and Blieskastel when he died on September 7, 1551. He was buried in St. Wendel Cathedral , where his wall tomb can still be seen today. In 1558 Johann von Hagen married Agnes Schenkin von Schmidtburg for the second time. From this marriage the sons Johann Nikolaus and Philipp Daniel emerged.

Von-Hagen-Platz in Büschfeld is reminiscent of the von Hagen family

The district of Biel was first mentioned in a document in a purchase agreement from 1559 , as “uff dem Boil zu Bardenbach” (also “uff dem Boil” / “Buel”). Johann Nikolaus von Hagen married Elisabeth von Lützelburg in 1581 . He was a high official of Count Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken . Both of their tombs are preserved in the collegiate church of St. Arnual . In the same year, the first witch hunts began in the high forest area . Many men and women would fall victim to them over the next two decades. There is no known witch trial before the Büschfeld High Court itself. In 1631/32 the Electoral State of Trier began to suffer from the effects of the Thirty Years' War . Robbery, murder and epidemics decimated the population. Of the ten households in a register from 1632, three residents of Büschfeld did not appear in a tax list again until 1651. Bernhard von Hagen dies in 1635. Since he only left daughters, the Büschfeld fief went to his cousin Johann Adam. In 1655 he died. His son Johann Heinrich, later married to Juliane Felicitas von Löwenstein zu Randeck, became his successor.

In 1663 a tax list from Büschfeld lists nine heads of household. In 1680 Johann Heinrich von Hagen had to apply to the Sun King Louis XIV in France during the reunification period for an enfeoffment with high , middle and low jurisdiction for his rule. In the same year he received the hereditary baron status.

18./19. century

In 1707 the widowed Juliane Felicitas von Löwenstein zu Randeck announced that she had received 133 Reichstaler from her eldest son Johann Wilhelm Ludwig for the repair of Büschfeld Castle. On February 1, 1719, Johann Wilhelm Ludwig von Hagen was enfeoffed by the Archbishop of Trier with the villages of Lebach, Michelbach, Bardenbach and with the village and "Veste Büschfeld" as well as the house and castle of the Motten near Lebach. He was married to Anna Maria Charlotte Freiin zu Eltz-Rotendorff . Of the seven children from this marriage, the eldest son and heir Johann Hugo von Hagen, the last noble lord von Büschfeld and President of the Imperial Court Council at the imperial court in Vienna, the later Chorbishop of Trier Karl Emmerich von Hagen - and Agnes Apollonia Elisabeth Antonia von Hagen, the future mistress of Münchweiler Castle , to be mentioned. Baron Johann Wilhelm Ludwig von Hagen died on June 6, 1750 at the age of 69. He found his final resting place in the Liebfrauenkirche in Trier .

Around 1770 the Bannmühle von Büschfeld came under the "temporal lease" of the lordly hunter Johann Friedrich Schmanck. In a statistic from the year 1773 in Büschfeld “27 whole marriages, 1 widower and 7 widows” are listed. They had 51 sons and 49 daughters - so that together 162 people lived in Büschfeld. In 1791, the President of the Reichshof Council, Johann Hugo von Hagen, died in Vienna at the age of 84 without heirs. In 1794, after Elector Clemens Wenzeslaus had fled, the “ French era ” began for Kurtrier . Büschfeld Castle, which was probably already in poor condition, soon came to an end due to the inheritance disputes over the Hagen estate that continued until 1805.

The new owner Nikolaus Ludwig Georg Friedrich Paul de la Haye seemed to have no more use for Büschfeld Castle. This was reinforced by the changed legal conditions under the French administration of "self-management". The heirs of Nikolaus Ludwig had to sell all of Hagen's goods and castle ruins in Büschfeld from 1820–1823. The castle ruins, which had since fallen into complete disrepair, came into the possession of the Schmanck family in 1823. They built the Schmanck-Pantenburg House, which still exists today, from the rubble from the ruins. The last remains of the castle were removed in 1897 when the Lebach – Nonnweiler state railway was built and in 1903 when the Merzig-Büschfelder railway was built .

Büschfeld belonged to the end of the First World War the district Merzig on which part was the Prussian government presidium Trier. This district was assigned to the Saar area under the League of Nations administration in 1920 according to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty - with the exception of the Hochwald communities (districts of Wadern, Losheim and Weiskirchen), including Büschfeld, which remained under the Trier regional council under the name "Restkreis". The district administration of the "remaining district" was in Wadern . After the Second World War , France decreed that the “remaining district” belonged to the newly formed Saarland, which was under French influence .

On January 1, 1957, the Saarland and with it Büschfeld again became part of Germany. In the same year, the Biel district was spun off from Büschfeld and merged with the municipality of Bardenbach.

As part of the regional and administrative reform in Saarland , the previously independent municipality of Büschfeld was dissolved on January 1, 1974 and assigned to the new municipality, from 1978 town of Wadern.
