history

Name and first mention

The oldest surviving mention of Lützelbuchen comes from June 1, 798 as marca bucha in a deed of donation from a Luibert to the Lorsch monastery . A distinction between the neighboring later beech places of Wachenbuchen , Mittelbuchen , today's deserted Oberbuchen and the later deserted Lützelbuchen was not made at that time. The name of the four places can also be found in the name of the higher political unit, the office of Büchertal . The office of Büchertal belonged to the rule and later county of Hanau , then to the county of Hanau-Münzenberg .

With some probability, the mention of a Buchen minor in a document from the year 1266 can be related to Lützelbuchen, which is mentioned as Lucziln Buchen 1360. The first part of the name is derived from the old German term lützel (= small).

Downfall

The place was probably abandoned in the 15th century. Lützelbuchen was mentioned twice more in 1495, the last time in 1607. The place probably ceased to exist at that time, and church documents from this time are not available.

During an archaeological excavation in 2002, the Hanau History Association between the Lützelbuchener and Flensburger Straße and the Straße An der Römerkastellen also uncovered medieval findings , including a pit house , probably remnants of the desert.
