Brühl (Schlüchtern)

Brühl is a group of homesteads in the town of Schlüchtern in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse . It is located at 465 m above sea level , 1 km south-east of the Schlüchtern district of Gundhelm .

The place is a re-establishment from the late 18th century, when the Brandenstein office , in which Brühl was located at the time, belonged to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , County of Hanau-Münzenberg . Landgrave Wilhelm IX. was then anxious to better develop the economic resources of his country.

In 1803 the Landgraviate was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, the Brandenstein office - and thus also Brühl - was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807–1810 , and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, which divided the Electorate of Hesse into four provinces and 22 districts, Brühl came to lie in the Schlüchtern district . In 1895 the settlement had 7 residents.
