In 1874 he became a member of the Reichstag for the constituency of the Province of Hanover 9 (Springe-Hameln-Eldagsen) and the National Liberal Party. His death in 1876 led to a by-election in the constituency, which the Guelph politician Ernst Ludwig von Lenthe won.

August Brande was married to Auguste. The couple had a pair of portraits made by the painter Edmund Koken . The two oil paintings with half-length portrait of the couple "in dark, simple tones, but the faces in soft light [...] and full of quiet dignity" were bought by the Friends of the Hannover Historical Museum in 2013 for 2700 euros at a local auction house.

Brandestrasse

Brandestrasse, which was laid out in the Hanoverian district of Waldhausen in 1874 while Brandes was still alive , was given the "name of the former co-owner of the property on which the road is built". At the time of National Socialism , the street was renamed Braunauer Strasse from 1938 to 1945 after Adolf Hitler's birthplace, Braunau am Inn .
