history

On April 1, 1250, the community records that the hamlet was first mentioned. Wolfgang Kahl was first mentioned in a document from 1181–1214 under the name Bresen . This comes from the Sorbian brezina or breźno for "Birkenort, Birkenwald" (cf. Obersorb . Brěza ). In 1445 there were six farms.

Breesen belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, it belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .

On July 1, 1950, Breesen was incorporated into Tegkwitz . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Breesen came as the district of Tegkwitz with the district Altenburg at the Leipzig district , since 1990 as a county belonged to Altenburg Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. With the incorporation of the municipality of Tegkwitz into the municipality of Starkenberg, Breesen became the most southeastern part of the municipality of Starkenberg on December 1, 2008. In 2012, 18 people lived in the hamlet.
