history

Two Roman roads touched the area around Puchhausen, and the traces of two Roman watchtowers discovered in 1850 also refer to the Romans. Already in the year 831 the place is mentioned in old documents under the name Buchhusa . Hainrich von und zu Rohrbach is first mentioned as the owner of the closed Hofmark Puchhausen around 1336. The Rohrbach family, later called the "Rohrbecken", was followed by Baumgarten in the 16th century, Nothaft von Wernberg in the 17th century , Seiboldsdorf from 1639 , Lerchenberg from 1651 and the Counts of Törring-Kronsfeld in 1744 . In 1830 the property came to the Niethammer zu Mengkofen.

The Swedes devastated the area three times during the Thirty Years War . In 1679 two journeyman tanners who had come from Vienna brought in the oriental plague . The old medieval church, which had had a baroque onion dome since 1759, was demolished in 1899.

In addition to the village of Puchhausen, the hamlets of Eckhof, Gern, Hany, Hofstetten, Muckenwinkel, Oberhirschwell, Reifberg, Unterwackerstall, Weitenhülln and Kleinhaslau as well as the wastelands of Grünleiten, Meising, Oberhütt, Reith, Unterhütt and Unterhirschwell belong to the political community of Puchhausen in the district of Dingolfing . In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Puchhausen was incorporated into the municipality of Mengkofen on January 1, 1972.

The village of Oberwackerstall (51 inhabitants) and the hamlet of Unterwackerstall (21 inhabitants) with an area of ​​over 130 hectares, presumably a southern exclave of Puchhausen, were reclassified to Tunding on July 1, 1931 and expanded its municipality to the east.
