The four villages of Buchheim, Hugstetten, Neuershausen and Holzhausen merged in 1973 to the new community of March.
The coat of arms shows on the left side the cross of the Lorsch Abbey and on the right the silver bear of the Abbey of St. Gall in Switzerland. Both abbeys owned land in the area, what is today March.
Konrad Stürtzel von Buchheim (* about 1435, + 1509), was chancellor of Maximilian I of Habsburg
