Brattendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1300. The village emerged from a manor . In 1645 there were only two residents left due to the effects of the war. In 1666 there were still 16 houses in ruins and 15 houses were occupied by 50 people. 840 people now live in the village. From 1890 to 1967, trains on the narrow-gauge line to Schönbrunn , known as Gründerla , which connected Eisfeld with Unterneubrunn, stopped at Brattendorf station . In 1974 the line was dismantled. The former station building now serves as a residential building.
