Location of Braunshausen in Saarland |
||
Braunshausen is located in the municipality of Nonnweiler , the northernmost municipality in Saarland , and is part of the St. Wendel district . It is located around 30 km southeast of Trier and around 45 km north of Saarbrücken . Braunshausen is connected to the Federal Motorway 1 at junction 137 (Braunshausen, Kastel, Wadern, Weiskirchen) and until 1973 was an independent municipality with its district Mariahütte .
geography
Braunshausen is located in a side valley to the left of the upper Prim , which is formed by the Münzbach (von Otzenhausen ) and the Engelsbach (von Schwarzenbach ). In the course of its creation and development, it leaned up the valley around the Kloppberg (Dorfstrasse, Schwarzenbacherstrasse) and the Peterberg (Bauernschilz). Braunshausen is limited by the south / south-east lying Peterberg, north-west of Scheidberg (the Schlääd) and north-east of Feldberg (also called Heldberg). The stream valley running to the west is open to the Prims. The ban borders Kastel, Nonnweiler, Otzenhausen, Schwarzenbach and Eiweiler (in the municipality of Nohfelden ) meet at Braunshausen .
history
Before the 18th century
Braunshausen was probably created long before it was first mentioned in a document, research assumes that the founding date is in the 2nd Middle Ages (900–1200 AD). Braunshausen was first mentioned as Brunshusen in the 14th century and belonged to the Eberswald rulership. The Lords "Mohr von Sötern" received the fief in 1398 from the Lorraine noble family of the Lords of Vinstingen , through a contract between the Elector of Trier and Baron Eckbrecht von Dürckheim . The monastery was divided in 1748 and Braunshausen returned to Kurtrier.
Braunshausen counts 28 fireplaces in 1536, in the time of the Thirty Years War there were still 6 fireplaces in 1628 and 6 years after the war, in 1654. There are no records of how large the village community was before 1536. The houses were built around 3 wells, these were in the Unterdorf (Langenborn), in the Mitteldorf (Quart) and in the Oberdorf. Oral tradition says that a settlement "Horsterhausen" existed between Braunshausen and Kastel. This is said to have been devastated and abandoned in the Thirty Years War. The field name "Horster Wies" still bears witness to the settlement today. Archaeological investigations in this area are almost impossible, as enormous earth movements were made in this area in the 1970s for the construction of the motorway. Another settlement called "Daaswella" (Daxweiler) is said to be located between Braunshausen and Schwarzenbach. The field names "Auf Daxweiler" (Uff Daaswella) and "Daxweiler Kuppe" (Daaswella Kupp) testify to this.
It is documented that the Peterberg already served as a place of worship, worship and sacrifice in pre-Christian times. After Christianization there was a chapel on the Peterberg, this is mentioned in documents and served as a marketplace and stood at the highest point, which today bears the field name "Chapel Hill".
In 1983 the chapel was rebuilt by an interest group.
After the 18th century
In 1794 the old division of the area was changed again, French revolutionary troops occupy the area. In 1798, the French directorate government reorganized the division, Braunshausen was added to the canton Hermeskeil in the Département de la Sarre , Arrondissement de Trèves . Another change took place in 1802, Braunshausen was separated from the canton Hermeskeil and incorporated into the canton Birkenfeld . The responsible Mairie was now Otzenhausen. After Napoleon's rule, Braunshausen was subordinated to the Austrian-Bavarian State Administration Commission in Worms in 1814, and after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 it was added to the Kingdom of Prussia . Braunshausen now belonged to the Trier district . A cast-iron fountain, which stood in the center of the village at that time and has now found its place in the cemetery, still bears witness to the Napoleonic era .
Since the 20th century
In 1907 a water pipe was built to supply the houses. In the First World War , Braunshausen lost 24 citizens (21 killed, 3 missing). The first electricity connections were made in 1927. The church was built from 1930 to 1934, so from 1934 the people of Braunshausen no longer had to go to the church in Kastel. In September 1939, at the beginning of the war, until May 1940, soldiers from Bavaria were quartered in the village , initially deployed to secure the border and later participated in the French campaign from there . Braunshausen was spared fighting during the war, but lost 55 citizens (44 killed, 11 missing). On March 17, 1945, US troops, coming from Nonnweiler, entered the town. First it was American, then French. From 1946 Braunshausen belonged to the Saarland and was assigned to the district of Wadern , later to the district of St. Wendel .
In 1952, it was decided to build a ski run with a chair lift to attract ski and hiking tourists. With the regional and administrative reform in Saarland , the municipality of Braunshausen lost its independent status on January 1, 1974 and was incorporated into the municipality of Nonnweiler. The reform made it necessary to reassign some of the town's street names. In 1973 and 1974 the structures for the motorway were erected and earth moving for the roadway began. The approval was granted in 1975. With the construction of the motorway, the "old" sports field was buried and a new one created not far from it and blessed in 1974. Also in 1974 a valley and mountain station and the "Schutzhütte", a residential building with an adjoining excursion restaurant, and a new double drag lift were built on the Peterberg. In 1979 a summer toboggan run was built parallel to the ski run , which was handed over in a ceremony on May 16, 1980. It was renewed and extended in 2004, while the Eternit shells were replaced with stainless steel shells. The tow lift , which was also built in the early 1980s, was retained and the chair lift was dismantled. The refuge was demolished in summer 2018 because renovation no longer seemed economical. The Saarland Gymnastics Association maintains a guest house outside the village, construction of which began on April 8, 1974. The DFB maintains the Braunshausen leisure and education center on the site . Refugees have been housed there since 2019.

Major companies
Mariahütte steelworks
An important building block in the history of Braunshausen is the former steel works of the Gottbills, later von Beulwitz , located in the Mariahütte district , which has undergone several changes over the course of two centuries. Most of the villagers and those of the surrounding towns were employed there. The main work was the smelting of iron and the production and sale of tanneries . After the First World War, production fell sharply, which caused unemployment to rise in the area. A change in production to cast parts and ovens (stoves, ovens and oil ovens) and the beginning of rearmament in the 1930s brought the plant back to life. During the Second World War, the plant was spared bombing and damage. At the end of the 1950s, furnace production gradually flagged and the company was bought by Diehl in 1960 . The company then changed its name several times, including Marienhütte, Carl Gottbill sel. Erben, GOMA GmbH ( GO ttbill MA riahütte) and Diehl Defense .
Hamlet kitchens
Another important company was the company "Weiler-Küchen R. Weiler GmbH - Kitchen furniture factory Braunshausen / Saar". It emerged from the Weiler furniture maker, which had been building kitchen furniture since 1921. At first, construction was still carried out in the village, but expansion was carried out in the early 1950s and a modern factory was built on the lower reaches of the Münzbach when the workshop became too small. Production took place in branch factories in Lorquin (France) and Belgium. In the 1970s, the company premises were expanded again, a modern open-plan office and workshops for the company's own truck fleet for delivery of the kitchens. In the early 1980s, the company went bankrupt after management errors . On November 5, 1984, the works council of the plant wrote a letter on behalf of the plant employees to the then incumbent Minister-President Werner Zeyer, asking him and the Saarland government to help the plant with its 210 employees. It was also about maintaining these jobs in the structurally weak northern Saarland. On November 13, 1984, the company was occupied by employees. Signs with slogans such as: “This company is occupied”, “Weiler-Küchen may not die” and “ Zeyer must help” were attached to the fence and gate. At the same time, trucks from the company drove up to the Saarbrücken state parliament , where 60 employees then also showed their banners with the demands.
Wagner Pizza
The only remaining significant company is Wagner Tiefkühlprodukte GmbH . It originated from the Wagner bakery. The founder Ernst Wagner ran an excursion restaurant in addition to his parents' bakery and experimented with the preproduction of dishes that could be offered quickly when the ski tourists rushed. While on a family vacation in Italy, the idea of making frozen pizza was born. In the course of development, many patents were developed by Ernst Wagner and used in our own production. On the occasion of the merits in the community, the parish and local council decided to rename Dorfstrasse and Kurzer Weg street to Ernst-Wagner-Strasse ; this was implemented on June 18, 2007.
