history

Archaeologists were able to secure some burial mounds in the south of the village and date them to the Bronze Age. Brachwitz was first mentioned in a document in 1327. The place name probably comes from the Slavic personal name Bratumil and indicates the history of ownership of the place. The city itself gives the translation Brachovici on an information board , which means something like "fallow land" or "fallow land". In 1375 Brachwitz had 26 hooves , each of which paid five bushels of rye and four bushels of oats on land lease .

The village church in Brachwitz was built at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. The building is a rectangular building . In 1659 the village belonged to the Berlin councilor Christoph Friese. He donated two chasubles to the community , which were only rediscovered during renovation work on the building in the 20th century and are now in the cathedral monastery in Brandenburg in the 21st century . In 1772 the church tower was added and the windows replaced. The Brachwitz village church is the only church in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district that was built almost entirely from lawn iron stones.

Brachwitz has always been in the Kingdom of Prussia and there in the administrative district of Potsdam . On July 25, 1952, the community was assigned to the then newly formed Belzig district in the Potsdam district . After the reunification , Brachwitz was in the Belzig district in Brandenburg and joined the Treuenbrietzen office on February 11, 1992 . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Brachwitz finally came to the newly formed district of Potsdam-Mittelmark . On June 1, 2002, the Treuenbrietzen office was dissolved and Brachwitz was incorporated into the town of Treuenbrietzen .

In January 2007 Brachwitz was badly damaged by Hurricane Kyrill .
