Buchenau (noble family, Dautphetal)
The Lords of Buchenau were a lower aristocratic family that took their name from the eponymous town of Buchenau in what is today the municipality of Dautphetal in Central Hesse . The gender first appears in historiography in a document dated September 11, 1265, in which the brothers Kraft and Peter von Buchenau are named. A document dated July 14, 1307 proves that the Lords of Buchenau were vassals of the Counts of Nassau .
In a genealogical register of the Hohenfels family , a Peter von Buchenau , d. 1367, is mentioned, of whom it is said that he was "Pastor of Hartenrod". In 1370 the knight Kraft von Buchenau donated part of his farm in Hartenrod to the parish of Buchenau . In 1435 Heinrich Czolner and his wife Gertrud sold the Lindengut in Wommelshausen , which they had inherited from the von Buchenau , to Landgrave Ludwig .
According to Landau, the family died out with the death of Kri (e) gs von Buchenau in 1398. The property was transferred to that of the von Linne family.
