history

The place was first mentioned as “Ufelohun” around 860 as the property of the Fulda Monastery , but it is much older. The next mention takes place in a certificate from Emperor Otto I. In the 12th century the place appears with the name form "Ufluflon" as property of the monastery Helmarshausen . In 1234 the noble family which is the first time men of Uffeln documented that to as landgräflich-Hessian vassals play a role. The town's fiefdom was initially in Bergisches Land and fell to the landgrave chancellor von Röhrenfurth in the 15th century . The Lords of Uffeln became particularly important during the Thirty Years' War as officers in the service of their Hessian rulers. The von Uffeln, however, acquired a number of Saxon-Thuringian goods, which they moved to in the 18th century; They transferred the old Uffelner property together with its Burguffeln Castle to the later Landgrave Friedrich II of Hesse-Kassel .

The St. Margareta Church of Burguffeln was built within the castle bower . As a result of the Reformation , the parish there was merged with that of Calden . Due to the location in the castle, there were regular conflicts between the lords of the castle, who viewed the church as a separate church and castle chapel, and the church administration, which campaigned for the independence of the church (and its property). Today's building owes its shape to the reconstruction carried out under Landgrave Friedrich, whereby the Gothic style was largely retained.

The local population had to suffer again and again from the feuds between the Hessian landgraves and the Archbishops of Mainz , so that the development of the place made little progress for a long time. In 1556 there were only 22 houses in the village. In 1790 the population had risen to 311, who mainly earned their livelihood by farming and weaving; also three mills existed in and around Burguffeln and a school house is mentioned. In the 19th century, Burguffeln gradually caught up with industrialization; Increasingly, working-class families also settled in the village, some of whom commuted to Kassel, 10 km away. The place recorded a further increase in population due to the immigration of repatriates after 1945.

On 1 October 1970 Burguffeln was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse on a voluntary basis in the small town of Grebenstein incorporated .
