history

Brüchau is a horseshoe-shaped round village of Wendish origin. In terms of the type of settlement, it is a triangular square village, which was later expanded to the south and east.

The first documentary mention was before 1449 as Bruchow , in the main lease register of Alvensleben a farm owner had a hoof in his own yard from the von Alvensleben fief . In 1473 Bruchow was named in a feudal letter from Elector Albrecht . In the same year dre wuste dorpfstede to bruchouwe were also mentioned. It is not certain whether these could be three deserted village places at this Brüchau.

Brüchau surface landfill

In 1971 a facility for the disposal of waste from the natural gas industry was approved by the City Council of Kalbe with the approval of the district hygiene inspection. Storage began in 1972.

After the fall of the Wall, the mine was operated by Erdgas Erdöl GmbH / Gaz de France; today it is Neptune Energy (as of 2019). The landfill was closed in 2011 by the district.

From 1977 to around 1990 non-mining waste was also deposited in the mine, such as pesticides, tar residues and electroplating sludge. According to the state government of Saxony-Anhalt, this drilling mud dump, known by the locals as Silbersee , contains 250 tons of mercury, 9,000 tons of acids, 1,400 kilograms of arsenic - toxic hazardous waste that is deposited on a layer of marl that is almost 80 centimeters thick, which forms the only protection for the groundwater .

In July 2018, exploration work began to safely close the surface landfill.
