In 1179 Buchkirchen was mentioned in a document of Pope Alexander III. In those years Buchkirchen was named as "Puechkirchen".
In the late 1960s, the two chefs, Herbert Schuh and Franz Thalhammer, invented the Austrian dish Käsekrainer in Buchkirchen. Since then, the sausage has been well established in Austrian cuisine and gained great popularity within and beyond Austria.[3]
