geography

The place is in the valley of the young beavers , about 3.5 km northeast of the main town.

history

The emergence of the place is for the 11./12. Century assumed. In the High Middle Ages , Nordholz was the seat of the lordship of the same name, which resided in the upper castle . These noblemen were closely connected to the Ottobeuren monastery . After the inheritance was divided, the lower castle was built by Konrad von Nordholz . These Nordholz possessions were transferred to the Counts of Rechberg around 1390 , who sold the town, which had been devastated by the Memmingers after the war in cities, to the nearby Roggenburg monastery in 1457 . The stones from the former Nordholz Castle were used in the construction of the monastery church there. The place has been Bavarian since 1805.

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality of Nordholz in the former district of Illertissen with its districts of Ebersbach , Engenhof and Halbertshofen was incorporated into the Buch market.

The legend of the Nordholz toad hike

A long time ago there was a hermit on the Schlossberg, his brother Arnik. He cared for the sick and the infirm in the entire area. Meanwhile, the bubble lived down in the village, a disreputable fellow who wasn't too strict about honesty and work. He hated the pilgrims who returned to Brother Arnik's hermitage, so he decided to steal the hermit's crucifix. When the pious brother awoke one morning and saw the absence of the crucified one, he fell so deeply into grief that he died soon after. Not without first asking the Lord to punish the wicked thief. Toads should wander down the mountain to the pond and thus make the ascent to the hermitage impossible for the wicked. But the bladder was not to live long either, during a thunderstorm it was struck by lightning and died on the spot. He was not allowed to be buried in the churchyard, but was buried in the forest. When the old hut of the Blase was cleared out, the stolen crucifix was finally found. The joy was so great that it was brought in a solemn procession to the Nordholz church, where it held an honorable place for a long time.
