The Bührener church goes back to a nearly square in plan view original building from the mid-12th century. The two-story building had a semicircular apse in the east and was expanded in 1220 in the West to a tower. The covered with a barrel vault floor and the wall a few slots on the lower floors show the original defensive character of the tower, on the top floor there are Romanesque coupled sound holes. After 1308 then the Romanesque apse was replaced by a slightly recessed rectangular choir. The two bells of the church date back to the Middle Ages.

In the course of Straßenbaumaßnehmen in the 1920s the space of a round shape has been transformed into a slightly oval 17 to 20 meters in diameter. 1960/61, the four additions were easily misplaced and damaged drywall supplements that Linden newly planted and three bells cast pits excavated. Because the older church bell is dated on the basis of comparisons before 1350, an appropriate minimum age is assumed for the tie.

Nine of these cross-stones have already been mentioned in writing in 1878 with the reference to the word formations, also place names in maps from 1785 and 1840 indicate the cross-stones at this point. The present appearance of the square dates back to a Erdanschüttung of 1954/55, in which the cross-stones have been re- grouped with concrete foundations. 1956, the group was then added to another, only half-collar Cross Stone.
