history
Before 1803, the area of the district of Buchen belonged to the Electoral Palatinate and to the monasteries Mainz and Würzburg . In 1806 the land came to Baden , which later, in the same year, was elevated to a Grand Duchy . The offices and district offices of Buchen , Osterburken , Boxberg and Walldürn were established in the later district of Buchen . In 1826 the seat of the Osterburken office was moved to Adelsheim and its name was changed accordingly. Furthermore, the Amt Krautheim emerged from the Ballenberg District Bailiff . In 1872 the District Office Boxberg was dissolved and its communities were incorporated into the District Office Tauberbischofsheim , but it was rebuilt in 1898. The Walldürn district was also dissolved in 1872. Its communities were divided between the offices of Buchen and Wertheim. In 1879 some communities came to the Buchen and Adelsheim districts. In 1924 the District Office Boxberg was dissolved again. Some of his places came to Adelsheim, which in turn was also closed in 1936 and came to the Buchen District Office. In 1939 the district of Buchen was created through the law on district self-government in Baden (district regulation) .
After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the district of Buchen belonged to the administrative district of North Baden . As a result of the municipal reform from 1970, the district area changed in four cases. On January 1, 1971 the municipality of Korb became part of the town of Möckmühl , on September 1, 1971 the municipality of Unterkessach became part of the city of Widdern , on February 1, 1972 the municipality of Kleineicholzheim became part of the municipality of Schefflenz and on March 1, 1972 the municipality of Ruchsen became part of City of Möckmühl incorporated. Korb, Ruchsen and Unterkessach came to the district of Heilbronn , Kleineicholzheim to the district of Mosbach .
With effect from January 1, 1973, the district of Buchen was dissolved. His area was mainly in the newly formed Neckar-Odenwald district . Some communities also came to the Heilbronn district , the Hohenlohe district and the Main-Tauber district . The legal successor to the district of Buchen was the Neckar-Odenwald district.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district of Buchen showed a six-spoke silver wheel in red above, with the stems of a golden beech leaf with golden fruit and red core and a golden ear of corn crossed at an angle below. The coat of arms was awarded in 1968 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior .
The wheel stands for the earlier affiliation of some municipalities to the ore monastery Mainz . The beech stands for the Odenwald and the ear for the grain-rich building land. Both landscapes have a share in the district area.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The district area was touched in the southeast by the federal motorway 81 Stuttgart-Würzburg, which was still in the construction phase at the time the district was dissolved. The federal highways 27 , 37 and 292 also ran through the district.
Communities
Starting in 1938, the Buchen district initially comprised 76 municipalities, including 6 towns.
On March 7, 1968, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg set the course for a community reform . With the law to strengthen the administrative power of smaller municipalities , it was possible for smaller municipalities to voluntarily unite to form larger municipalities. It all started with the municipality of Hemsbach in the district of Buchen, which merged with the city of Osterburken on January 1, 1971 . After that, the number of municipalities steadily decreased until the district of Buchen was finally abolished on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the city of Walldürn . The smallest community was Kaltenbrunn.
In the table, the municipalities of the district of Buchen are before the municipal reform. The population figures refer to the census results in 1961 and 1970.
License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign BCH when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It was issued until December 31, 1972. It has been available again in the Neckar-Odenwald district since February 25, 2013 due to the license plate liberalization .
