On February 6, 1368, Bruchköbel received a privilege from Emperor Charles IV through Ulrich III. Hanau the city charter with a fixing and market rights granted. After the construction of the defensive tower, which is still standing today, the town's landmark, the playhouse , a town hall for consultations, court hearings and social events was built.

Church history

In 1192 a pastor is mentioned in the village. Perhaps Bruchköbel was the mother church of the churches in Kesselstadt and Oberissigheim. The church patronage had been with James since 1392 at the latest. The middle church authority was the archdiaconate of the provost of the Church of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz , Landkapitel Roßdorf , in the post-Reformation period the class Büchertal. The patronage of the church of the village was in 1364 at the Benedictine monastery of Limburg an der Haardt as the owner of the monastery Naumburg .

The Reformation was gradually introduced in the county of Hanau in the middle of the 16th century . In Bruchköbel this happened between 1549 and 1567, initially in the Lutheran sense. The Jakobuskirche became Protestant . In 1561 the County of Hanau-Münzenberg acquired the Naumburg monastery and also took on the right to assign the pastor's office. In a "second Reformation" the denomination of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg was changed again. From 1597 Count Philipp Ludwig II pursued a decidedly reformed church policy. He made use of the Jus reformandi , his right as sovereign to determine the denomination of his subjects, and made this largely binding for the county. Over longer periods from 16. – 19. In the 19th century the parish Niederissigheim was assigned to the church in Bruchköbel.

After the County of Hanau had been ruled by the Lutheran Count Friedrich Casimir from 1642 , a Lutheran congregation was established again in Bruchköbel in 1705. In 1717 their own church was built for them (today the city library). In 1818 both denominations were united into one church by the Hanau Union .

Bruchköbel was parish in the Catholic Church until the Second World War in Butterstadt . Due to the influx of numerous expellees from the German eastern areas, two Catholic churches were built in Bruchköbel in the post-war period: St. Familia in the north of Bruchköbel in 1958, which also took over the parish seat of Butterstadt, and Redeemer of the World in the south of Bruchköbel in 1968.
