history

Braunshardt was first mentioned on August 26, 1318. The document reports on a division of ownership between the two Counts Berthold and Eberhard von Katzenelnbogen over the Brunishardt forest. In 1319, one year after Braunshardt was first mentioned in a document, Count Wilhelm von Katzenelnbogen received the Brinshard Forest as a fief from the Würzburg church . He laid out a manor. The servants gradually settled around this estate. With that the village was founded. In 1627 Landgrave Georg II transferred the manorial estate to his chancellor Anton Wolff v. Todenwarth as inheritance. Around the middle of the 18th century, Landgrave Ludwig VIII redeemed it from the heirs of the Chancellor. Then the alien August Friedrich von Minnigerode, who had fallen into disuse, became master of the dairy farm. The name Braunshardt is closely associated with the historic Braunshardt Castle . It was built around 1760 by Prince Georg Wilhelm of Hesse and in the following years it developed a courtly lifestyle. After frequent changes of ownership, part of the castle is now owned by the Johannesbund eV Leutesdorf / Rhein. It is used as a retirement and nursing home. The other part, the actual castle, has been restored and renovated privately. In 2006 the castle was bought by the city of Weiterstadt. After some renovations, such as B. the castle chapel, it has now been made accessible to the population. Guided tours take place regularly, the palace garden is open to everyone during opening hours, and you can get married in the palace.

Over the centuries the place has been named in historical documents with changing place names . From Brunishart in 1318 via Brunshart (1427), Obern Brunßhart and Nyddern Brunßhart (1460) to Braunshard in 1702. The administrative affiliation of Braunshardt to the Gerauer Mark in 1427 is documented. Under Hessian sovereignty it belonged to the Darmstadt office until 1821 , from 1821 to 1832 to the: District Langen , from 1832 to 1848 to the Groß-Gerau district , from 1848 to 1852 during the short time of the administrative districts in the Starkenburg province to the Darmstadt administrative district and from 1852 with the introduction of circles to the district of Darmstadt .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Braunshardt in 1829:

»Braunshardt (L. Bez. Langen) luth. Filialdorf; is 3 St. from Langen and 1 1 ⁄ 2  } St. from Darmstadt, has 33 houses and 218 Lutherans and 1 Catholic. Here is a former hunting lodge with a large garden, which is now private. On the farm days at Fürstenberg, a castle near Bacharach, Adelheid, widow of Count Berthold II von Katzenellenbogen, and her son, Johann I, had the emperor grant them the privilege in 1321 to clear their Braunshardt forest in a village. The Qrt was initially a branch of Großgerau, and was sent to Weiterstadt after the reforms. "
