Uradelige from book

The ancestral home of the ancient Buch is in Buch near Tangermünde , where Conrad and Friedrich von Buch are first mentioned in a document on June 1, 1209. A secure line of tribe begins with Johann von Buch (1261–1285), Vogt of Tangermünde.

His grandson of the same name, Johann von Buch (approx. 1290–1356), wrote the most important gloss on the Sachsenspiegel . As early as 1336, the Margrave of Brandenburg, Ludwig V , gave him the fiefdom for the state, town and castle of Jerichow and in 1339 at the latest, the family succeeded in advancing to the state estate through the transferred rule of Johann von Buch over Garsedow .

In 1445, Elector Friedrich II. Eisenzahn conquered Stolpe Castle , which had been Pomeranian until then , but left it to its owner Hans von Buch as a Brandenburg fief. The family built a new manor house in 1553, which was reconstructed in a smaller form after the fire of 1917. Geologist Leopold von Buch (1774-1853) is buried at the hereditary burial site on a hill in the castle park .

In 1626 Friedrich von Buch acquired the Wilmersdorf estate near Angermünde from the von Sparr and von Biesenbrow families. The current manor house was built around 1680. In 1945 Alexander von Buch and his family fled from the invasion of Soviet troops. The Wilmersdorf estate was expropriated by the land reform. After reunification, Dietrich von Buch, Alexander's grandson, acquired the Lindenhaus in Wilmersdorf in 1996.

In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are 14 entries by daughters of the von Buch families from Zapkendorff, Tornow, Doberan and Ludwigslust from the years 1795–1899 for inclusion in the local aristocratic women's monastery .

The main line of the correspondence from Buch begins with the vice rector at the pedagogy in Kassel , Johann von Buch (* Gießen 1515; † Kassel September 29, 1599), who was later also council magistrate and librarian at the regional library there. The family received the saxony- meiningen - hildburghausen nobility for the ducal saxony-meiningen colonel and regimental commander Gottlieb von Buch in Meiningen on May 1, 1858.
