history
Streets
In the topographical map of the Rhineland by Jean Joseph Tranchot (1801–1814) and Karl von Müffling (1815–1828), the district name Praheck can be found for today's district of Brauheck . There are three roads from Cochem to Brauheck. The largest is the federal road 259 , also known as the panorama road , starting in the Sehl district. Another street is the K 20 , which also begins in Sehl and leads via the K 22 junction along the industrial area to Brauheck. The oldest road that leads to Brauheck is probably the K 18 . It also begins in Cochem, known in earlier times as the Faider Weg. The local population usually refers to it as the Old Street .
Air barracks
At the end of the 1950s, the Federal Ministry of Defense was looking for a suitable location for a barracks for the soldiers of the Büchel Air Base . Willy Massoth, mayor of the city of Cochem at the time, had very good connections to the federal government at the time due to his former membership in the defense committee of the German Bundestag . So the city of Cochem made an offer to use the area in the Praheck district for the construction of barracks and a housing estate. The offer was accepted and on June 22, 1958, the city council of Cochem passed the resolution to build an air barracks and a housing estate for the soldiers and their families. The Frankfurter Siedlungsgesellschaft then built this housing estate within three years. First the settlement houses were built to the left of the district road, then those to the right of the district road in the direction of Dohr. The first soldiers' families were finally able to move into their first apartments in 1961.
School system
In order to meet the educational requirements of the new Brauheck district, the decision was made to build a new central school after the existing school in Dohr was no longer considered fit for renovation. A site in the Dohr district between Brauheck and Dohr was chosen as the new location . Construction began in May 1960 and the following year, on August 24, 1961, the first 96 children were able to move into the new school building. Officially, however, the inauguration could not be celebrated until December 10, 1962, as some remaining work had to be done up to this date. At that time, lessons were still carried out separately according to denomination, so that lessons for the 70 Catholic children took place in two classes and that for the 20 Protestant children in one class. From 1963, 15 children of American soldiers' families were also taught in their own rooms. The 5th to 8th grade students were transferred to the newly completed elementary school in Cochem on September 1, 1968.
industrial Estate
In order to make Brauheck attractive for companies and businesses in the surrounding area, it was decided in November 1965 to start building an industrial area in the Weißenstein district. The area, located in the southeast of Brauheck, borders directly on the air barracks. The first company that settled there was the Cochem auto repair shop M. J. Schneider. At the same time, the Technical Monitoring Association set up a test center for motor vehicles there. When the area of the industrial area became too small after several years, the city council of Cochem decided in 1980 to expand the area. With the implementation of this resolution, the official name was also changed to “industrial area” in order to achieve better advertising effectiveness.
