Büschhof is a district of Nümbrecht. If you do just a little research into the home and family history, you will soon discover that Büschhof cannot be thought without Löttgen. It looks as if the settlement here in the "bushes" (that was the oldest detectable place name) goes back to the bearers of this name. Büschhof is first mentioned in 1698 in connection with the Homburg school regulations of Count Karl Friedrich from 1698, where the affiliation of Büschhof to the Drülshöhler (Drinsahler) school district is determined.

In contrast, the family name (with modifications) appears around 200 years earlier. The linguistic research on the development and meaning of the name should be left aside at this point. Only four spellings found are recorded here: 1500–1612 Lutgen, 1761 Lutgen, 1763 Lüttgen, 1795 Löttgen. Here is a facsimile from the fodder oats list of the parish Nümbrecht from 1559, signed by Aloffgen Lutgen from Oberbreidenbach. According to a complaint from the parish of Nümbrecht from 1592, Aloffgen Lutgen zu Oberbreidenbach was a church elder, so certainly an honorable court owner. If Aloffgen Lutgen is mentioned in the oat list in 1559, he must at least have had a father who has carried his name since around 1500.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, according to today's terms, time stood still. Around 1870, Homburg villages were still reminiscent of medieval conditions, houses and barns, fences and hedges, bushes and ridges, paths and footbridges, ponds and wells, but also farm work, tools and customs still had their ancient stamp.

Büschhof has become known through the artist Wolfgang Vorläufer, who adds colorful accents to the village with his objects. "A village becomes a total work of art" was the title of the Kölnische Rundschau newspaper's article on August 26, 2020, in its feature on the artist. His great-grandparents also lived here, and he describes his work as a dialogue with the village.

For several years, Werner Vorländer has been creating an art mile in his hometown of Nümbrecht-Büschhof, which continues to grow each year. Various sculptures, painted stones, and wooden poles, designed and staged by him, can be found throughout the village.
