Buchenau court

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Buchenau court was an administrative and judicial district of the aristocratic Buchenau family under the sovereignty of the Fulda bishopric .

history

The noble family was based in Buchenau . In 1397 Buchenau was officially designated as a fuldisches fiefdom . The feudal rule was controversial. In the 15th century Buchenau granted the Landgraviate of Hesse the right to open Buchenau Castle . In a recess of 1585 the legal situation was clarified: The Lords of Buchenau received the unrestricted bailiwick over the court, Fulda was recognized as a feudal lord and had central jurisdiction .

In the centuries that followed, there were numerous sales of shares in the court. In 1670 Fulda acquired a quarter of the court from the heirs of Balthasar von Buchenau. In 1679, 1691, 1692, 1702 and 1703 further shares were bought. Conversely, the Fulda bishopric sold the quarter acquired in 1670 to Schenck zu Schweinsberg in 1692 and in 1710 the shares acquired by Franz von Buchenau in 1703 to Wolf Daniel von Boyneburg . At the end of the HRR , Fulda still had 1/8 of the court.

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the court fell in 1803 to the Principality of Nassau-Oranien-Fulda and went there in the Cent Eiterfeld.
