Braunshain is a district of Schmölln in the Altenburger Land district in Thuringia . Today it is listed as a common district of Schmölln with the town of Großbraunshain, which adjoins directly to the south .

location

The district is located southwest of Lumpzig in Altenburger-Zeitzer-Lösshügelland , a part of the Leipzig lowland bay . The development goes into the directly south adjoining place Großbraunshain, which is why both places are now referred to as the common district Braunshain / Großbraunshain von Schmölln. To the west of the district is the state border with Saxony-Anhalt . The Gerstenbach , a tributary of the Pleiße, rises there .

history

State division of the Altenburger Land until 1920

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1171. Until the 1950s, the place was called Kleinbraunshain.

Kleinbraunshain or Braunshain is one of the few places in Altenburger Land that historically did not belong to Saxony-Altenburg . Like the neighboring towns of Tanna , Naundorf and Wernsdorf to the north, the manor was initially at the Kayna manor , which is why it was also known as the Kayna village . Later, the manor was at the manor Kleinbraunshain, whose five associated towns formed an exclave until 1815 , which belonged to the Borna district of Saxony . The nearby town of Großbraunshain, however, belonged to the Altenburg district office in the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg . The Kleinbraunshain manor was mentioned around 1632. The mansion was rebuilt in 1797 as a two-story half-timbered building. After a fire in 1896, it was rebuilt.

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the exclave of the five Kaynaic villages as well as the neighboring town of Hohenkirchen , which also belonged to the Borna district as an exclave, came to Prussia in 1815 . The area became part of the newly formed district of Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony in 1816 . After the dissolution of the Prussian province of Saxony (1815–1944), the administrative district of Merseburg became the province of Halle-Merseburg (1944–1945) on July 1, 1944 , to which Braunshain in the Zeitz district now also belonged. After the Second World War , Braunshain came to the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The manor house of the manor was demolished shortly after 1945. In contrast, almost all other parts of the building have been preserved to this day, some of them in a precarious state.

On July 1, 1950 Braunshain was incorporated into Bröckau . With the administrative reform in the GDR on July 25, 1952, Braunshaun came to the district of Schmölln in the district of Leipzig as part of the municipality of Bröckau . When the municipality of Bröckau was reorganized into the Zeitz district in the Halle district on January 1, 1956, Braunshain remained in the Schmölln district and was incorporated into the Lumpzig community . As a district of the municipality of Lumpzig, Braunshain came to the Thuringian district of Schmölln in 1990, which was added to the district of Altenburger Land in 1994. In 2012, 90 people lived in the village.

On January 1, 2019, the Lumpzig community was dissolved and Braunshain was incorporated into the town of Schmölln.
