history

According to Kahl, Brandenstein was first mentioned in a document on May 5, 1229. Other authors state 1297 and Bienert proves 1269 by reporting that around this time nobles named themselves after the castle , which was later converted into a castle and is now privately owned.

After the decisions of the victorious powers of the Second World War , new farmsteads were built with the land reform , and houses were added later to the developing district.
