    Buchonia or Buchengau is an old name for the area of the northern Rhön and the Fulda basin, roughly identical to today's East Hesse, at times also of the southern Vogelsberg to Wetterau.

    Buchonia is an originally Celtic forest area and later a Franconian Gau. In Roman history, Buchonia is a forest area north of the Limes, the first mention is in 53 BC. Chr. From the 8th century, the Untergau region of the Franconian Grabfeldgau was mentioned as a political administrative area.

    The name Buchonia is still used in the Hessian, especially in the East Hessian area, to clarify the origin and to show the connection with this historical region.
