history

Braunsdorf was first mentioned in 1377 as Brunsdorp. The old village complex is laid out as a circular structure around a small hill with a church in the center. The village and church were looted and destroyed in the Thirty Years War. In 1687 the newly built church was consecrated and a linden tree was planted to commemorate it, which has been preserved to this day.

Braunsdorf owned two water mills driven by the Rischebach. In the GDR , VEB Leichtbaustoffe produced lightweight panels on the property of one mill, and paper was produced in the second mill until 1960.
