history

Church of Bröckau

The oldest documented mentions of the place come from 1196 (Brekouwe) and 1286 (Brockowe) . The name comes from the Old Sorbian Brekov or Brek for " mulberry tree ".

In contrast to the neighboring town of Hohenkirchen, which was an exclave of the Electoral Saxon Office Borna , Bröckau and the neighboring towns of Görnitz and Weißenborn were the southernmost places in the Zeitz Office until 1815 , which as part of the Naumburg-Zeitz Monastery had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and between 1656 / 57 and 1718 belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Zeitz . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the places came to Prussia in 1815 and to the newly founded district of Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony in 1816 . After the dissolution of the Prussian province of Saxony (1815–1944), the administrative district of Merseburg became the province of Halle-Merseburg (1944–1945) on July 1, 1944 , to which now also Bröckau in the Zeitz district with its two parts of the municipality belonged. After the Second World War , Bröckau came to the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

On July 1, 1950 Hohenkirchen and Braunshain were incorporated into Bröckau. The municipality of Bröckau belonged to the Schmölln district in the Leipzig district from July 25, 1952 to December 31, 1955 , but then came back to the Zeitz district in the Halle district . Districts of the community were Bröckau, Görnitz, Hohenkirchen and Weißenborn. The Braunshain district remained with the Schmölln district when it was reclassified on January 1, 1956. It was affiliated to the Lumpzig community .

The municipality of Bröckau has belonged to the Zeitz district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt since 1990 , which became part of the Burgenland district in 1994 . On January 1, 2010, it merged with Wittgendorf to form the community of Schnaudertal.
