history

Barrows from the Hallstatt period were found near the village . Even in pre-Roman times, a road led from today's Eichstätt to Petersbuch. In the south-west of the town hall, the Roman long-distance route Pfünz - Weißenburg led past today's village. The place is a little north of the Roman Limes border wall , which is still clearly visible today as a bush wall and was guarded here by guards 56 to 59.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1119 under the name “book” as a cathedral capital property. He belonged to the Royal Villages . As such, Petersbuch was directly subordinate to the king or emperor and was a fief of the Count of Hirschberg , the guardian of the Eichstätter bishop. When Count Gebhard VII von Hirschberg died childless in 1305, Petersbuch fell back to the empire as a fief. It was first given by the emperor as a fief to a nobleman and from 1534 onwards it was given to the nearby town of Weißenburg for a deposit. During the Thirty Years' War , the Eichstätt prince-bishop was lord of Petersbuch from 1629–49. However, he was only able to finally acquire the place with its approx. 30 goods with a contract of July 20, 1680 and subordinated it to his care and Vogtamt Titting- Raitenbuch . With regard to the judiciary, the place belonged together with Kaldorf and Heiligenkreuz to the marital detention district of Kaldorf, where the court took place every year around St. Gallus Day (October 16).

After the secularization with the end of the Hochstift (1803) the office of Titting-Raitenbuch came to an end. Archduke Ferdinand of Austria received the former bishopric . Already in 1806 this property and with it Petersbuch fell back to Bavaria , until 1817 the Principality of Eichstätt was established for Napoleon's stepson Eugène de Beauharnais , Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of Eichstätt. During this time, Petersbuch was not independent for a while (1811-18), but was incorporated into the rural community of Kaldorf. The Eichstätter principality was dissolved again in 1855 and the area was finally united with Bavaria. In 1879 Petersbuch and Heiligenkreuz became an independent municipality after variously changed districts (Altmühlkreis, Oberdonaukreis, Rezatkreis) to the newly formed Hilpoltstein District Office (Central Franconia administrative region). After its dissolution in the course of the Bavarian regional reform in 1972, Petersbuch initially remained an independent municipality, now in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt. On May 1, 1978, the independence was given up when the place joined the market Titting.

In 1933 the "Berggemeinde" Petersbuch had 315 inhabitants, in 1939 285 inhabitants.

The hamlet of Heiligenkreuz, formerly called Newenkirchen / Neukirchen vorm Wald and a popular pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages , was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War and then gradually rebuilt.
