history

Lazy lake north of Buch

Buch was founded as a Vorwerk in 1789 and was initially called Am Seekrug . The name referred to the restaurant Seekrug , which was located nearby at the time and which owed its name to the former Faulen See. A short time later, the Vorwerk Brelitz was named after a nearby deserted area Brelitz . The Vorwerk belonged to the Wanzleben domain .

The building material for the so-called Vorwerk was, among other things, the rubble of the dilapidated house of the fish master in Broilitz . District Councilor Kühne complained in a letter dated March 26, 1795 about the slow demolition of the house, whose material was needed. In a letter dated March 31, 1795, District Councilor Kühne and District Administrator Steinecker were informed that the 2nd Wanzlebische Vorwerk, located so close to the Seekrug, had been given the name Buch by us . The background of this name, which is still in use today, is unclear. It has been speculated that the name refers to a minister from Buch . Another assumption is that the name comes from Minister Otto von Voss , the owner of places called Buch in Brandenburg .

The Vorwerk consisted of a self-contained farm yard with an inspector's house, barns and stables for horses, oxen and sheep. The cultivated area was 192.3 hectares (25 Hufen). In 1808 Buch had 41 inhabitants. The number stagnated at first, but rose to 92 by 1861.

Even before 1882 there was an evangelical school in Buch. In 1883 a school building including a school garden was built at the entrance to Wanzleben . The children from Blumenberg also went to school here. The maintenance of the school was incumbent on the domain through the Buch / Blumenberg comprehensive school association . In 1895 the Vorwerk was connected to the telephone network. There was a field barn on the way to Faulen See . In 1924 a family from the West Prussian Kensau was settled in Buch. In 1929 the manor district to which Buch belonged was dissolved, and Buch became part of Wanzleben. The school was closed due to the incorporation into Wanzleben. At that time Buch had 92 residents, plus 52 seasonal workers from Poland .

During the Nazi period of tyranny, a Polish foreign worker in Buch was executed in 1941 . In June 1940 he was surprised and reported during sexual acts with a German woman. His partner was to three years prison sentenced. After the end of the National Socialist tyranny, criminal proceedings followed against the complainant. On May 19, 1949, he was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the Magdeburg Regional Court . In 1945 the population rose to 200 as a result of refugees and those displaced from eastern Germany .

After the Second World War , the domain and with it the Vorwerk was expropriated. The areas belonging to the Vorwerk were divided into 32 plots and given to new farmers . Buildings were built for 14 new builders in 1948/1950. In 1952, windbreaks were created by planting trees , whereby propaganda emphasized that this was done according to the Soviet model. In 1953 two ash pits were built and the street lighting was supplemented by two lanterns, the material was not enough for more. A children's playground planned in the courtyard of the inspector's house was not yet built.

In the course of the collectivization of agriculture in the GDR , LPGs were also created in Buch . On January 23, 1955, 13 members from 5 companies with a total of 30.4 hectares founded LPG Type I "Gute Hope". The LPG administration moved into the old school building. A TV room has also been set up there. On May 1st, 1957, the LPG "Gute Hoffnung" Type III was founded with 20 members from 10 companies with 95 hectares. It was later merged to form LPG Type III “Friedrich Engels” Wanzleben.

The old inspector's house was expanded to become a consumer sales point. A restaurant with a hall and beer garden as well as the fire brigade were also set up there. The volunteer fire brigade in Buch existed until 1980. A kindergarten was initially housed in the Schnitterkaserne , Ladenstrasse 1 , and was later moved to Dorfstrasse 7 and 8. The Red Cross set up a treatment room in the reapers barracks.

A pen drawing by the stock exchange painter August Bratfisch has survived from 1959, depicting the book and the surrounding area. In the period 1967/1969 a cattle barn was built . The village pond that was still in the yard of the Vorwerk was filled in and made way for a pile of manure . In 1973/1975 a field hedge was planted around the place .

In 1980/1982 the old school building was demolished in order to set up a bus turning area in its place. The demolition met with criticism from the population. A children's playground was also built at this time.

After the political change in 1989 , the LPG was dissolved in 1990. Two resettlers , grandsons of the last councilor of the domain, Kühne, founded a new farm which is managed by one of Kühne's great-grandsons. The old Vorwerk horse stable became a house, the sheepfold became a machine hall.

The street lighting was renewed in 2000. A new bus stop was also built in the same year. Wanzleben's cobblestone street was given an asphalt surface. In 2002, 27 residential buildings with a total of 24 households were counted in Buch, with four buildings dating from before 1900. The population increased from 64 in 1995 to 78 in 2000 and 87 in 2005. A few houses were built. In 2009 the turning point of the bus was paved and a new waiting hall was built. The Schnitter barracks was converted into a residential building and the upper floor was removed.
