history

The Knights of Brüheim were servants of the Landgraves of Thuringia in the Middle Ages. Later there were Lords von Salza, who were replaced by the von Wangenheim family . The place was in the office of Gotha , which had belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha since 1640, to the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg since 1672 and to the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha since 1826 . In the 18th century, Brüheim had good musical instrument makers. In 1890 the Nessetalbahn with a train station at Brüheim-Sonneborn was put into operation. In 1947 the tracks were dismantled as a reparation payment to the USSR. Later, the line via Friedrichswerth to Kindel to the Soviet military training area there was rebuilt; once it was cleared, it became superfluous. Today the "Nessetal-Radweg" runs over the former railway embankment.

In 1939, Brüheim had 773 residents. After the reunification , the place was successfully included in the village renewal program of Thuringia. Since January 1, 1997, the once independent municipality belonged to the administrative community of Mittleres Nessetal .

On January 1, 2019, the previously independent communities of Brüheim, Ballstädt , Bufleben , Friedrichswerth , Goldbach , Haina , Hochheim , Remstädt , Wangenheim , Warza and Westhausen were merged to form the rural community of Nessetal . Brüheim was a member of the Mittleres Nessetal administrative association .
