history

Buhla was first mentioned in a document in 1246 as "Bola" (place surrounded by forest), later name forms were "Bula" (1416) and since 1593 "Buhla". The Reformation was introduced around 1556. Initially Buhla belonged to the County of Hohnstein and from 1650, according to hereditary homage, to the Electorate of Brandenburg and later to the Kingdom of Prussia . From 1816 Buhla belonged to the administrative district of Erfurt in the Prussian province of Saxony (in the district of Nordhausen or from 1888 to the district of Hohenstein ) and since 1990 to the state of Thuringia .

Ascherode

The district of Ascherode, which today belongs to Buhla, was the seat of a fortified medieval aristocratic court, which was first mentioned on August 12, 1146. The castle site was in the south-east corner of the village, where remains of the ramparts and the fortified manor house can still be seen. The castle was used to control and secure the formerly important traffic route from Großbodungen via Ammern to Mühlhausen . On March 1, 1951, the previously independent community of Ascherode was incorporated into Buhla.

Knights of Buhla

From the 13th century onwards, a Hohenstein knight family von Buhla (Bula) was detectable, especially in documents from the Walkenried and Ilfeld monasteries and in documents from Schwarzburg in the 15th century. A fortified manor or estate is known from 1283. The aristocratic family probably died out at the beginning of the 16th century. The coat of arms of those of Buhla shows three right-angled wolf rods , a later version also shows two fishing hooks. Representatives of the knight dynasty were:

• Ludolphus de Bula (13th century)
• Heinrich von Buhla (1366) and Göpel von Buhla (1400)
• Hans von Buhla (1420) has an imperial fief in Hainrode and in 1437 his imperial fief in Krimderode reverts to the kingdom after his death

Later the owners of the manor changed several times, including to the Lords of Bodenstein (as a fiefdom) and von Berlepsch .
