Burgstall Buchhausen
The expired Burgstall Buchhausen is located in the Buchhausen district of the municipality of Schierling in the Upper Palatinate district of Regensburg in Bavaria .
history
Buchhausen appears as early as the 9th century in a royal document and in the traditions of the St. Emmeram monastery as Buochusa or Puohhusa (dated approx. 875–882). A castle is not mentioned here. However, people named after the place can be found who can be assigned to the lower service nobility. The following appear: Isinric de Buhhusin (approx. 1120–1126), Wernhart de Buchusen (approx. 1130–1140), Gotsalc de puchusen (around 1145) and Roudolfus de Pouchusen (1181). In the late Middle Ages , possessions of the Prüll monastery in particular can be found here .
A Dietricus de Povchusen is mentioned on the occasion of a papal confirmation of the re-establishment of the Oberalteich Monastery in 1126. This witness is at the head of a group known as the nobles ( nobiles viri ). Around 1180 a free nobleman named Arnolt de Bouchhusen appears again , who, together with the knights Heinrich and Dietrich , who are subordinate to him, testifies to the transfer of a court to the Oberaltaich monastery. This Arnold and his sons Dietrich and Arnold donated two goods to the Rohr monastery through Count Konrad von Roning and Altmann von Siegenburg . If there is evidence of a noble family (with their own knighthood) in Buchhausen, it is obvious to infer a castle in the place. This Buchhausen nobility can no longer be traced from the second half of the 12th century.
Localization
A fortification was found on a hilltop east of the village of Buchhausen. Due to their small size, a prehistoric rampart can be excluded. The plateau located there is protected in the west by the steep slope of the Deggenbach valley and in the south by a cave-like incision. On the south-east flank, an embankment up to 3 m high delimits the facility, to the east the terrain runs out in a gentle slope. There are no longer any special traces of attachment in the area.
