It is likely that Buborn arose in the later expansion phase that took hold in this area, thus in the 10th or 11th century. Until the early 12th century, the village belonged to the Nahegau, and then to the County of the Waldgraves, who can be considered the Nahegau counts’ successors. From a judicial point of view, Buborn lay within the jurisdiction of the Hochgericht auf der Heide (“High Court on the Heath”). Records tell of a knight named Albert from the Nahegau, who in the early 12th century unrightfully took ownership of the Remigiusberg (a mountain with a like-named monastery). Later, though, after the monks had bought the mountain back, Albert himself took orders at the newly founded monastery there, and, among other things, bequeathed two estates in Buhrbur to it.
