The village of Buchenhofen is located in the Wuppertal residential district of Buchenhofen of the same name in what is now the Elberfeld-West district on the border with Vohwinkel . This is located south of the Hammerstein manor on the right side of the Wuppertal .
history
The Buchenhofen farm was first mentioned in a document in 1193. The nobleman Wilhelm von Limburg sold his Buchenhofen farm near Sonnborn to the Gräfrath monastery . The farm itself was a man's fief and owned until the monastery was dissolved in 1803. Further mentions were made in 1591 and 1612. The 80 hectare forest area of Klosterbusch belonged to Buchenhofen .
On the Topographia Ducatus Montani (1715) by Erich Philipp Ploennies it is noted as "Bückenhof". Later it was known under the name "in the beeches".
In the 19th century, Buchenhofen was located in the municipality of Sonnborn, which was split off from the mayor's office in Haan in 1867 and which was renamed the municipality of Vohwinkel in 1888, when territory was ceded to the city of Elberfeld . The area around Buchenhofen was one of these territorial assignments. According to the community encyclopedia of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1888, Buchenhofen owned a house with eleven inhabitants. At the latest with the construction of the Buchenhofen sewage treatment plant in 1906, existing parts of the manor house were laid down.
Various local historical writings indicate that the Buchenhofen estate was supposed to have been a knightly estate , but this contradicts the documents in which the estate was owned by the Gräfrath monastery from the 12th century until the secularization of 1803.
Local legend
Buchenhofen is linked to the varied saga of the nun robbery by Gräfrath , which Otto Schell had included in his collection of Bergischer sagas in abbreviated form, but was also passed down by Vincenz von Zuccalmaglio in the form of a poem that spanned several pages. According to this legend, a knight from Kronenburg and a nun from the monastery are said to have fallen in love; he stole her from the monastery without further ado. In atonement, he had to transfer his Buchenhofen farm to the monastery. Another variant says that a Herr von Hammerstein forcibly sent his niece to the monastery, leaving the Buchenhofen estate, from which she was stolen by the beloved Knight von Kronenburg. The knight was judged for his deed, either during the immediate siege of his castle or later through the afar . The nun is said to have either been returned to the monastery or lived on as the knight's widow with their children at the Kronenburg.
