history

Early history

Buch is likely to be a high medieval clearing settlement , the place name suggesting a settlement near the beeches . Initially belonging to the lords of Biberegg-Roggenburg , after their extinction around 1160, the place went to the lords of Neuffen , who expanded Buch into an important seat of their new dominion in Weißenhorn . After Berthold II's marriage with Juta von Marstetten, the Neuffen received the title of Count of Marstetten . When the last Neuffen died in 1342, the county of Marstetten, with its main town Weißenhorn, fell to the Bavarian Wittelsbachers by inheritance . They did not administer the rule themselves, but initially pledged it to the Counts of Werdenberg , who owned considerable property south of Lake Constance . In 1356 it was passed on to Duke Albrecht II of Austria , and finally to the Lords of Ellerbach . After the Treaty of Schärding in 1369, Bavaria was able to win back the pledged dominion of Weißenhorn, but immediately sold it again to the Werdenbergers and the Lords of Rechberg . In 1473 the pledge was finally dissolved, so that Louis IX. of Bavaria-Landshut administered the rule directly. During this time, the right to hold market days on a regular basis was also granted. During the immediate rule of the Wittelsbachers, the Kirchberg County and the Pfaffenhofen County were purchased , which significantly increased the territory. After mediation in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504/05, the German King Maximilian I confiscated the now so-called Kirchberg-Weißenhorn rule for the empire and sold it to his banker Jakob Fugger in 1507 . The place Buch remained the seat of a bailiff, but sovereignly the area belonged to Upper Austria with the capital Innsbruck . Like Weißenhorn and Babenhausen, Buch became the center of the weaving trade . In 1612 a Garnsiede on the Roth was also mentioned.

19th and 20th centuries

After the incorporation into the Bavarian state in 1805, the Fuggers only retained the right to maintain a patrimonial court in Weißenhorn , which existed until 1848 and was replaced by a royal Bavarian court in the following four years . In 1852, Buch became part of the Illertissen jurisdiction , and after centuries of reference to Weißenhorn, the place gradually oriented itself towards the up-and-coming market and later district town. These district courts were the indirect forerunners of the districts. After that, Buch belonged to the district of Illertissen .

  • Cemetery chapel , neo-baroque building
  • Untere Straße , a typical Fugger weaver settlement
  • Old brewery
  • 19th century Gasthaus Lamm . A new town center with a village hall was built around the building for event purposes.
  • Fountain from the second half of the 19th century (cast iron)
  • Burgstall east of the village above the old cemetery, very distinctly separated from the eastern outer bailey by a moat. The time of origin is unclear.
