history

Brüngsberg was documented as early as the 14th century and was probably first inhabited by settlers who moved along the Siegtal and Pleisbach or the roads running in the mountain area. In 1610, five people were mentioned in the protocol of a " court property " of the Siegburg Abbey of St. Michael in Honnef, who were resident in the place called Brünßberg at the time . In 1803 Brüngsberg had 13 houses. Brüngsberg (formerly also Brungsberg ) is one of the eight honors that made up the parish of Aegidienberg at the latest from the middle of the 18th century until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806. In 1843 the number of houses had risen to 21 and in 1885 to 30. In 1874 the road connection (today's L 143) from Himberg via Hövel and Brüngsberg to Niederpleis was completed.

The operation of numerous mines , which started intensively towards the middle of the 19th century, was of economic importance for the place . Below Brüngsberg and the immediate vicinity there are some mineral veins that contain copper , iron , lead and zinc ores . By 1869, twelve pits had gone into operation, some of which extended in the direction of Quirrenbach ; At that time they still belonged to the Brüngsberg mining union and from 1896 to the Stolberger Zink AG . The largest of these was the Anrep-Zacchaeus Pit . In June 1908 at the latest, it was shut down because the deposits were exhausted. Both this pit and the Arnold Erbstollen left extensive dump areas .

To the north-east of Brüngsberg was a farmhouse that was used as a rest home for children by the Neuwied Rasselstein company from 1922 to 1937 and was taken over and expanded by the National Socialist Reich Labor Service for the use of young women after the Second World War . From 1948 it served as the children's home of the Evangelical Relief Organization Rhineland , which accommodated up to 75 children after the completion of an extension that had begun in 1956. It was managed by Ruth von Wild from Switzerland until 1959 . From 1959 on, the Evangelical Relief Organization in Brüngsberg also had a boarding school which, as a special needs school, was mainly attended by children from abroad . In 1982 a retirement and nursing home moved into the building of the former children's home, which is still in operation today.

coat of arms

Chalkboard as the town's coat of arms

In 2007, the artist Richard Lenzgen created a slate as the local coat of arms of Brüngsberg. In the middle field, it shows “a miner's lamp in silver as a typical carbide lamp in a curled corn yellow tip ” - an indication of the earlier importance of local mining. In the green field there are “three oak leaves in silver with a golden acorn ” for forestry and on a red background “a golden ear of corn ” is shown as a symbol for agriculture.
