history

Grave fields from the Middle Bronze Age have been found in the area of ​​today's village . Not far from these burial grounds, pottery from the later Bronze Age and another burial ground from the Early Iron Age were discovered. The present-day village on the Old Oder was built by Wenden and first mentioned in 1337 as Grailizen. At that time the village belonged to Nicolaus Witte, in the 14th century it came into the possession of the Uchtenhagen family . In 1604 the village was sold to Elector Joachim Friedrich .

Bralitz was initially a fishing village. By draining the Oderbruch in the 19th century, the village developed into a farming village. A cemetery was set up in 1839, and a separate village church with a 51 m high steeple was built in 1890 .

From the beginning of the 20th century, some industrial companies settled here (brick production, sawmill, gravel and sand mining). The Angermünde – Bad Freienwalde railway line , built in 1877 with the Bralitz stop and the Oderberg-Bralitz railway station 2 km away , was shut down in 1997. In 1955 the LPG "Free Life" was founded.

On October 26, 2003, Bralitz was incorporated into Bad Freienwalde (Oder).
