history

Brand was first mentioned in a document in 1527. At that time, Brand only consisted of a single estate, which was mentioned around 1750 as "Brand Guth" and, with regard to the manorial rule, belonged proportionally to the Lichtentanne manor (Heckelsches manor) and to the Alt-Schönfels manor . In the 19th century, in the course of industrialization, Brand developed into a settlement that belonged to Lichtentanne as a district.

Until 1856, Brand belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau . In 1856 Brand came to the Zwickau Court Office and in 1875 to the Zwickau District Administration . In terms of church, Brand belonged to Lichtentanne until 1875, and since then to the Pauluskirche in what is now the Zwickau district of Marienthal. In 1920 the district of Brand with the municipality of Lichtentanne was assigned to the Werdau administration . With the dissolution of the Werdau administrative authority, the places came back to the Zwickau administrative authority in 1933, which was called the Zwickau district from 1939 onwards.

On April 1, 1939, Brand and Maxhütte were reclassified from Lichtentanne to Zwickau. The Zwickau Reichsbahn repair shop east of Brand, which opened in 1908, was demolished in 2016 after it was closed in 2015. A new correctional facility for the Free States of Saxony and Thuringia is being built on the site .
