history
The knight family de Brantbuch was first mentioned in 1154, the place Brambuch in 1307. The fortress of the place was mentioned in 1372. Brambach was later long time in possession of the landlord families of Zedtwitz and Schirnding and as the seat of a Leutpriesters ecclesiastical center of the area. The place was under the deanery of the diocese of Regensburg .
On September 11, 1842, the church and 28 rural houses with associated farm buildings fell victim to a major fire. During the reconstruction of the new buildings, the structural change that went hand in hand with the arrival of the musical instrument shop was taken into account , so that mainly workshop houses were built. Brambach and its current districts belonged to the Voigtsberg district until the 19th century .
In 1812 the Freiberg montanist Wilhelm August Lampadius examined the "Sauerbrunnen von Unterbrambach", the old community spring. Around 1890, the farmer Christian Schüller began shipping mineral water under the name Schüllerquelle from a spring in Röthenbachtal that his father had explored in 1860 and then filled in again . A tenant of the then community spring, however, sold their water under the name Schillerquelle. Other sources of spring found contributed to an increased production of mineral water. Even before these commercial uses, spring outlets in the meadow plain of the Röthenbach were known and in use by the residents.
In 1912, over two million bottles of soda were already produced. The later VEB Brambacher Sprudel became the largest mineral water supplier in the Upper Vogtland.
In 1911, the later was Wettin source discovered, "as the strongest radium moisturize" the world was, followed, in 1912 the cure in the spa Bad Brambach with Radonbalneologie (radon baths, contemporary as radioactive mineral baths called) began. The community received the title Bad Brambach in 1922 (from 1933 to 1963 Radiumbad Brambach ). As a result, numerous spa facilities were created. By decision of the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior in Dresden on December 15, 1914, the Wettin spring was declared a healing spring . After 1945 Bad Brambach served the Soviet Army as a sanatorium. In 1949, patients were again admitted to social security and in 1957 the entire bathroom was handed over to the GDR authorities, who modernized the buildings. In 1961 the spa area was reforested with 40,000 trees.
Since the political change in 1989/90, Bad Brambach has continued to develop into a rural spa. Numerous municipal and private investments as well as building projects by Sächsische Staatsbäder GmbH (especially in the area of the spa park) have shaped the townscape. These include the AQUADON bathing and sauna area, the refurbished festival hall and the refurbished central spring building, the new building for the Ebel specialist clinic, the former RDB health resort that was converted and refurbished into a senior citizens' residence (in the GDR, the Julius-Fučík-Haus health resort ) and several accommodation facilities .
Mineral water production was continued and expanded with the new construction of the Bad Brambacher Mineralquellen GmbH & Co. Betriebs KG company building. The company is one of the largest employers in town and supports numerous associations.
