history

The Hallerschloss Puckenhof, around 1860

The Hallerschloss Puckenhof, 2011

Until the 18th century

Buckenhof was created as a village on the edge of the Reichswald between the 11th and 12th centuries. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1372 as a hereditary forest cave of the Nuremberg citizen Hermann Remar, from which the Puckenhof Castle emerged .

The estate was owned by the Barons von Haller from 1462 to 1487 and 1501 to 1848 . During the Second Margrave War , the buildings were burned down by margravial troops on May 29, 1552. In the years 1564–1567, the people of Hall rebuilt Puckenhof Palace. It has been an Inner Mission youth home since 1850 .

Buckenhof gained national attention from 1709 to around 1810 through a healing spring that became known as the Gesundbrunnen. It led to an influx of healing seekers from near and far. The water was drunk, used to make coffee or bottled. Later, however, the spring almost completely dried up. Today there is only a weathered structure on a slope below the soccer field, which is protected with bars. It is located on an irrigation ditch over which the Buckenhofer Talaue, the so-called Brunnwiesen, was temporarily irrigated.

In 1778 the forest between Erlangen and Buckenhof was uprooted by a natural disaster.

19th and 20th centuries

As part of the Prussian principality of Bayreuth since 1792 , Buckenhof fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and became part of Bavaria in 1810 .

From 1886 to 1963 Buckenhof was on the railway line of the secondary line that led from Erlangen to Eschenau (or to Graefenberg with transfers). The carnival association Seku-Narren reminds of the short form " Seku " with its name.

From 1923-1928 engines were manufactured for Ermag in Buckenhof , later other mechanical products under the company name Siebenkees.

Population development

Since the 20th century Buckenhof had a rapid population growth of 161 inhabitants in 1900, until it peaked in 2009 with 3327 inhabitants. Buckenhof is one of the most densely populated communities in Bavaria. The extraordinary popularity of the community, which is reflected, among other things, in high property prices, is explained by its location close to the city bordering Erlangen and the simultaneous embedding in the nature of the nearby Reichswald and the unobstructed Schwabachwiesen (floodplains). Even the garbage dump (the “garbage mountain”) in the city of Erlangen, which was closed in February 1980, has meanwhile become a natural paradise.

The community has also been debt free for a long time.

politics

The dominant political topic for decades was the construction of a bypass road for the towns of Buckenhof, Uttenreuth, Weiher and Buckenhofer Siedlung in Erlangen for the state road St 2240 from Erlangen to Eschenau . The road routing through the Sebalder Reichswald preferred by the state planning committees should pass close to the residential development in Buckenhof south. However, in 2006 the entire Nuremberg Reichswald was designated as an EU bird sanctuary . In spring 2011, it was also announced that the planned route near Uttenreuth runs through an area in which several protected species breed, such as the woodlark . An alternative route, a northern bypass of the Uttenreuth district of Weiher, would also have passed Buckenhof. But it met with rejection from even more citizens, especially in Uttenreuth. The planning was therefore finally stopped in June 2012. In August 2013, however, noise-reducing measures ( whispered asphalt ) were carried out on the previous route to relieve the residents . In August / September 2017, the remaining part of the state road in the municipality was also given a noise-reducing surface.

At the end of 2011, an additional area was allocated to the municipality, which is located on the site of a former brick factory and previously belonged to the municipality of Spardorf. The two communities formed a planning association in order to improve the local supply in both places. At the end of 2018, 2 new supermarkets, a drugstore, a bank branch and a bakery branch opened there. The adjacent medical center was completed in early 2019, and a pharmacy and restaurant were added later. During the planning, the municipalities attached importance to a sustainable energy concept through the use of geothermal energy (via heat pumps) and photovoltaics.

traffic

Buckenhofer Forest

Buckenhof is connected to Erlangen and the neighboring communities of Spardorf and Uttenreuth by the state road 2240 . With the exception of the main street (Graefenberger Straße = Staatsstraße 2240) the speed limit is 30 and right before left. A bypass road through the nearby Buckenhofer Forest was planned for a long time, but was discarded due to the breeding grounds of protected species on the planned route.

Buckenhof is connected to the VGN by bus lines 285 and 280 of the Erlanger Stadtwerke and lines 208, 209 and 210 of the OVF . Within the town there is a scheduled taxi that is coordinated with line 285 .

Until 1963 Buckenhof had a connection to the Erlangen – Eschenau railway line ; the line was shut down [s. O.]. There are plans to build a new city-surrounding railway that will connect the towns of Nuremberg, Erlangen and Herzogenaurach with one another. An originally planned east branch via Buckenhof to Uttenreuth could not be further planned at the district level after a referendum in April 2015 in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district. In the meantime, however, there is a "cross-district intermunicipal alliance east axis city-surrounding railway" (LIBOS) with 14 participating municipalities. The east branch should (like the earlier railway line) also run through the Forchheim district.

As the company's first machine, the EM 24 two-stroke was manufactured until 1926. You followed u. a. the EM 24 four-stroke, which was one of the best motorcycles of its time and v. a. was successful in racing. In the course of the general motorcycle boom, the expanding company, which now had around 40 employees, moved its headquarters to Rathenaustr in 1926. 16. Only the engine building remained at the old location. A lack of capital and the departure of the founders (for example, Roder went to Zündapp in Nuremberg as the first designer) initiated the decline of this only electric motorcycle factory, which had produced around 2000 machines by the time it was closed in 1931. In 1934 the company was deleted from the commercial register. Sources: StadtAE III.109.E.1 .; 33.No.2.E.1–17.
