The Waldhufendorf Bräunsdorf was mentioned in 1275 as Brunigesdorf . At the same time, i. H. in 1275 the local church was also mentioned. The name Hermannus de Brunigesdorf indicates a manor house. At that time it was owned by the Lords of Schönburg , who donated it to the Geringswalde monastery in 1297 . After the Reformation associated secularization and dissolution of the monastery Geringswalde in 1542 the estate Bräunsdorf came in 1543 to the Lords of Schönburg again. Around 1552 the Bräunsdorf estate was designated as a manor , to which, however, only part of Bräunsdorf was subject. With regard to the manorial power , Bräunsdorf was divided into the 19th century.

The larger Schönburg part of Bräunsdorf with the manor Bräunsdorf belonged to the Penig lordship , which the Lords of Schönburg had exchanged with the Wettins in 1543 . Thus, Bräunsdorf ( Schoenburg part) belonged to the Schoenburg regional rule Penig under Wettin suzerainty until the 19th century . The Bräunsdorf manor came into the possession of Wolf Dittrich von Thumbshirn in 1647 , who also owned the Kaufungen Castle in the neighboring town of Kaufungen in the Wettin lordship of Wolkenburg . Since the manor Bräunsdorf has been operated since then as the Vorwerk of the Kaufungen Castle, it came into the possession of the nobles von der Planitz in 1684 and from 1766 into the possession of the Lords of Einsiedel , who were also owners of the Wolkenburg lordship. Bräunsdorf (Schönburg part) belonged until 1856 as an exclave to the Schönburg state rule Penig under assignment to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau (until 1836) and the Royal Saxon Office of Rochlitz (1836 to 1856). In 1856 the previously Schönburg part of Bräunsdorf came to the Penig court office . The smaller Wettin part of Bräunsdorf belonged to the Manor Limbach in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Chemnitz until 1856 . In 1856 this share came to the Limbach court office .

In 1875 the part belonging to the Penig court office came from Bräunsdorf to the Rochlitz office , the part belonging to the Limbach court office to the Chemnitz office . It was not until 1880 that a uniform community was formed, which now completely belonged to the Chemnitz District Administration. In the past, linen weaving , linen bleaching and blue printing were the main occupations of the residents alongside agriculture . Small textile factories were set up in the 19th century and there were also several mills . In 1897 the Lords of Einsiedel sold the Bräunsdorf manor to Curt Heinig. Emil Koch had been on the list since 1925. In the course of the land reform in the Soviet zone in 1945, the Bräunsdorf manor was expropriated and distributed to new farmers. The road leading to the estate is therefore called "Land Reform". The former mansion was demolished.

By the second district reform in the GDR Bräunsdorf came in 1952 for county Chemnitz-Land in the district Chemnitz (1953 in county Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land and District Karl-Marx-Stadt renamed), which from 1990 Saxon district Chemnitz was continued . When it was dissolved, Bräunsdorf came to the Chemnitzer Land district in 1994 , which was added to the Zwickau district in 2008. On November 1, 1998, Bräunsdorf was incorporated into the large district town of Limbach-Oberfrohna.
