history

The place was first mentioned in 1380 as Brandicz . The name appears as a family name as early as 1212 and goes back to the Tyrolean noble family of the same name . The place name was probably transferred to the place from the city of Brandis near Leipzig .

Brandis historically belonged to the Schweinitz office and was therefore part of the Duchy of Saxony-Wittenberg or the Electorate of Saxony at the time it was first mentioned . The place has been part of Schönewalde church since 1515. In 1806 the electorate was elevated to the Kingdom of Saxony . As a result of the division of the Kingdom of Saxony after the Congress of Vienna , Brandis came to the Kingdom of Prussia and there to the Province of Saxony , where the place was assigned to the district of Schweinitz in the administrative district of Merseburg during the territorial reform in the following year . In 1875 Brandis had 275 residents. In the years 1896/97 Brandis received its own village church, which was built in the neo-Romanesque style.

Since the dissolution of the province of Saxony on July 1, 1944, Brandis has belonged to the province of Halle-Merseburg . After the Second World War, Brandis came to the Soviet occupation zone and in 1949 to the GDR. Brandis has belonged to the state of Saxony-Anhalt since 1947 . The district of Schweinitz was renamed the district of Herzberg on July 1, 1950 . During the GDR district reform on July 25, 1952, the district of Herzberg and the state of Saxony-Anhalt were dissolved and Brandis came to the reduced district of Herzberg in the Cottbus district . On January 1, 1974, Horst was incorporated into Brandis. After reunification , the community of Brandis initially belonged to the Herzberg district in Brandenburg.

In September 1992, the community joined the office of Schönewalde to handle its administrative business . During the district reform of December 6, 1993, the district of Herzberg merged with the districts of Bad Liebenwerda and Finsterwalde in the new district of Elbe-Elster . On December 31, 1998, Brandis and the previously independent communities of Ahlsdorf and Stolzenhain merged to form the new community of Heideeck . The community of Heideck was again dissolved on December 31, 2001 and its districts incorporated into Schönewalde, whereupon the office of Schönewalde was dissolved. On October 6, 2004, the Brandis district was renamed Brandis / Horst .
