history

The history of the village of Buch is closely linked to that of Bieberehren. Buch itself did not come into being until the Middle Ages, but the area was already settled at least temporarily in the Neolithic . This is evidenced by monuments around the village. Like Baldersheim and Burgerroth, Buch was part of the Reichelsberg manor in the Middle Ages . The lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck held the village rulership at this time .

When the nobles died out, the villages came to the Bamberg Monastery in 1390 . However, Bishop Lamprecht von Bamberg soon swapped the village for possessions near Burgebrach with the diocesan of Würzburg. The Reichelsburg as the administrative seat was given as a fief to the Lords of Weinsberg . After the male line had died out, the Würzburg prince-bishop Konrad von Thüngen received the administrative district with the village of Buch.

The Hochstift Würzburg was secularized in 1803 and after an interim period in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , the villages came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814. The pilgrimage site of the Kunigunden chapel fell under the district of Burgerroth, but it is still looked after by the Buch community. It was not until the bridge over the Gollach was blown up in World War II that Buch itself was given its own cemetery, because the dead had previously been buried around the chapel. In 1978, the book came to the Bieberehren community.

Attractions

The center of the village is the Catholic Church of the Finding of the Cross. It was built in 1859 and presents itself as a neo-Gothic hall with a gable roof and a northern facade tower with a pointed helmet. The place is also characterized by many wayside shrines and small monuments. The oldest of these objects date back to the 17th century and are an expression of the people's piety.
