history

Several burial mounds from the Bronze Age prove that a settlement existed on the Buttenhausen markings from an early age. The present-day place probably originated from an Alemannic settlement before the year 1000. The village was first mentioned in 1275 as Buttenhusen . The knightly place changed hands frequently from the 14th to the 16th century. In 1365 it belonged to the Lords of Freyberg and in 1384 to the Lords of Gundelfingen . In 1469 it passed into the possession of the Lords of Stein, who sold Buttenhausen to Friedrich von Gemmingen in 1569 . In 1782 the place was exchanged for the Baron von Liebenstein from Jebenhausen. Other local lords were the von Münch families in 1812 and von Weidenbach in 1822. In 1808 Buttenhausen came to the Oberamt Münsingen as a patrimonial office . In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , Buttenhausen was incorporated into Münsingen on January 1, 1975, together with Bichishausen , Hundersingen , Magolsheim and Rietheim .

The lords of Gemmingen built a castle in Buttenhausen in the 18th century. It was a two-story long building with a mansard roof . In 1935 the city of Stuttgart bought the Buttenhausen Castle and set up a so-called employment and preservation home there. In 1959, Haus am Berg gGmbH opened the Buttenhausen country home as a home for “young people and the elderly with mentally handicapped people”.

Jewish community

A specialty of Buttenhausen is the earlier existence of a large Jewish community . The history of the Jewish community of Buttenhausen begins on July 7th, 1787 with a "Jew protection letter" issued by Philipp Friedrich Freiherr von Liebenstein. He initially allowed 25 families to settle in the village. In the following decades a large community developed, which in 1870 consisted of 442 inhabitants. That was 53% of the total population. As businessmen in the 19th century, the Jews played a role in a wide area and thus brought a certain level of prosperity and many technical innovations to Buttenhausen. A synagogue was built around 1800 and destroyed in 1938. The rabbinate house and the Jewish cemetery are still preserved. In 1901 the Bernheimer Realschule was established. In 1933, 97 Jews were still living in Buttenhausen. 24 of them were deported to Riga and Theresienstadt and murdered there. A memorial was erected in the village center in 1960.
