The Buocher Höhe is a forest area and up to 519.6  m above sea level. NN high ridge around Buoch in the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg ( Germany ).

The south-western edge of the wooded mountain landscape of Berglen , which is sometimes viewed as an independent part, is usually referred to as Buocher Höhe .

Geographical location

The ridge is bounded to the northeast by the Buchenbach Valley. On its northeastern edge, Lehnenberg , Spechtshof and Reichenbach spread out on the slope of the Buchenbach Valley . In the east, the Won Red stitch , the Buocher height over 420  m above sea level. NN high saddle between Hößlinswart in the north and Rohrbronn in the south connected to the mountains .

In the south, the ridge falls into the Remstal valley to Geradstetten and Grunbach , the so-called Remshalde (eponymous for the larger municipality of Remshalden ); on the slope is Gundelsbach with the goat mountain . In the forest area there are the Gewanne Hohe Straße , Marschallhölzle , Brand , Glockenholz and Eichenwald . Groß- and Kleinheppach with the Kleinheppacher Kopf spread out to the southwest . The Hanweiler Sattel ( 364  m above sea level ) separates the Buocher Höhe from the Korber Kopf and Hohreusch. In the direction of Winnenden, the Buocher Höhe drops over the "Großer Roßberg", over the leveling area of Breuningsweiler , "Haselstein", Kleine Roßberg and Stöckach .

The agriculturally used Buocher Höhe extends to the cleared area of ​​the Remshalden district of Buoch, the leveled area of Breuningsweiler and the orchards of Lehnenberg , Spechtshof and Reichenbach .

Landscape and nature

geology

The Buocher Höhe comprises the entire layer pact of the Keuper, covered on top by the lowest layer of the Jura, the Angulate sandstone. The clearing around Buoch corresponds almost exactly to the occurrence of this lime-rich Angulate sandstone, because arable farming can be carried out on it. Under its thin cover lies Rhätsandstein , which used to be ground into sand and used to dry ink. The former quarry was backfilled.

mountains

The mountains, elevations and foothills of the Buocher Höhe and on its edge include:

Nature reserves

Since November 4, 1968, the Buocher Höhe, together with the Zipfelbachtal, the Korber Kopf, the Remstal slopes, the Ramsbachtal and the Grafenberg, form a 2150 hectare landscape protection area .

With the ordinance of the Stuttgart regional council of May 18, 2009, the Upper Zipfelbachtal area with its side blade and parts of the Sonnenberg were declared a nature reserve. It has an area of ​​41.6 hectares and is listed under the protected area number 1275. The largest areas are maintained by the NABU local group Winnenden, which has also written documentation for the area.

history

What is striking about the Buocher Höhe is the formerly very large catchment area of the Buocher church. It is believed that there was a wooden church here as early as the 8th century. The motive for this may have been a former Alemannic sanctuary at the height. The high altitude of the plateau, with a panoramic view of the Welzheimer Wald, Schurwald to the Swabian Alb and Black Forest, as well as the near origin of three brooks - the small Grunbach flows into the Rems, the Zipfelbach into the Neckar, the Buchenbach into the Murr - speaks for its existence . The former city archivist Dr. According to Holub von Weinstadt, these were good reasons for an Alemannic Thingplatz . In order to accommodate people during the thing, the forest was very loose, due to the cattle pasture. Bellon calculated that the farm at the time was almost forced to raise cattle. The place was also cheap because it was a road junction. The Hohe Straße led up from Cannstatt and then further into the Wieslauftal or Schorndorf. From Winnenden the road pulled over Breuningsweiler to the ridge. In addition, there was enough water and wells in the south. How difficult the climb was, testify to the winning names on both sides of Buoch: Rote Steige. With the defeat of the Alemanni, the country was Christianized by the Franks. The Thingplatz was rededicated as a church location, which explains the early church construction and the wide catchment area.

The name Buoch is also interesting. It was retained because the residents resisted the change to New German. It probably does not come from the tree name beech, but could be Celtic: buoch - 'the small forest pasture', in contrast to -hardt - 'the large forest pasture', as in Murrhardt or Mainhardt . Other Buoch locations are Kaisersbach, formerly Kaisersbuoch or Weißbuch, formerly Weißbuoch .

The Buocher Höhe and the Berglen used to belong to the Alemannic royal property, and have always been administered by Waiblingen . With the expansion of the settlements, Waiblingen had to cede more and more of this forest so that the inhabitants in the enclaves of the forest had a livelihood, because wood was important for building and heating. In the Reichenberg forest camp book from 1555 it was stipulated that the Waiblingers are entitled to the trunk of the trees, the "Buochener" to the tops and brushwood. This regulation often led to disputes, so that in 1742 the forest was divided. Since then, only the forest area to the west and east (Gewann Hinterer Waiblinger Stadtwald) of Buoch belongs to Waiblingen.

Water / observation tower in Buoch

Observation towers

In 1896 a 20 m high iron observation tower was built on the Buocher Höhe. It was an excursion destination, but had to be demolished in 1921. In 1938 it was followed by a surveying tower made of spruce wood, which was used for aerial observation during World War II and which was blown up in 1948 by order of the Allies. In 1954 the 22-meter-high water and observation tower Buoch was built about 200 meters southwest of the highest point on the Buocher Höhe . It allows a view over the Swabian Alb , the Black Forest , the Odenwald and the Swabian Forest .

Recreational area

On the Buocher Höhe there is a leisure area with a large playground, a roller skating rink, a barbecue area, tennis courts, a fitness trail and a riding area with a hall.
