Burgstall Buchhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
