The community is divided into Brahmenau, Wüstenhain and Zschippach . Brahmenau, in turn, is formed by the merger of the then independent communities of Culm , Waaswitz and Groitschen in the 20th century .

history

On October 1, 1922 Waaswitz to Culm incorporated, on October 1, 1937 followed Groitschen . The community of Culm was finally renamed Brahmenau on November 13, 1937. After the Second World War , the districts of Wüstenhain and Zschippach were incorporated. The first documented mentions of the communities that are now part of Brahmenau date from the 12th century and go back to even older Sorbian settlements.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Zschippach was incorporated.

After the political change in 1990 , building activity began, which can be seen from the number of inhabitants, so the number of inhabitants almost doubled between 1994 and 1999.
