History

Bühne was first mentioned in a document around 850 under the name Piun. It was one of the fortified castles of the nobility of the Prince-Bishopric of Paderborn. Piun is a Bavarian dialect version of Bühne that was used by the author of that document, the head of administration of King Arnulf.[1]

On 1 January 1975, Bühne was integrated into the city of Borgentreich as a constituent community.[2]
