history

middle Ages

A clear date for the city's foundation is not documented, but it is assumed that the place was built before the year 1050. The first written evidence dates from the year 1053. The name of the place gave the county Brehna its name. With this Brehna later came to the Electoral Saxon office of Bitterfeld .

The town charter was not granted in 1274 (first mention of a town charter), but before 1220, as can be read in the second document of the document collection (Diplomatarium Brenense) in the history of the town and county of Brehna by pastor Johann Jakob Köhler from the 18th century. The manuscript of this “story” by Köhler, pastor in Brehna from 1754 to his death in 1771, is in the Saxon State and University Library Dresden (SLUB) . It has been neglected for a long time. It was only during the preparation of an imprint in 2003 that one became aware of the document from 1220 with which the two counts brothers Otto II and Dietrich I gave the monastery / choir womens' monastery "a number of gardens in the city of Bren". In 1201, when the Augustinian women's choir monastery Brehna was founded, the source Chronica Montis sereni (Chronik vom Lauterberg, as the Petersberg was called at that time) speaks of the fact that this choir woman monastery was founded in the village of Brehna. Both the document of 1220 and that of 1274 are no longer available in the Latin original, there are only German translations.

Modern times

The decisions of the Congress of Vienna the place in 1815 came to Prussia and in 1816 the district Bitterfeld in the administrative district of Merseburg of Saxony Province allocated to which he belonged until 1944th

The Romanesque building, which now functions as the town church, is the last testimony to the former Brehna monastery, in which - as it was passed down - Katharina von Bora once lived for a short time. The town and monastery church of Brehna - official church name: St. Jakobus and St. Clemens - is also a designated motorway church as part of the Romanesque Road and the Luther Trail . The double church is partly Romanesque , especially in the area of ​​the tower, while the nave is Gothic . In the church, a Wäldner organ, restored in 2015, is available for services and concerts.

The historic townscape also includes the renewed Kursächsische Postmeile column , the old town hall from the 18th century on the market, a Paltrock windmill (private) from the 19th century on the outskirts and the Hädicke windmill . It was acquired in 1876 by Reinhold David Hädicke as a post mill. After a storm damage in 1946, it had to be converted into a Paltrock windmill. The trestle was removed and replaced by a ring-shaped masonry. There is a roller ring on which the rest of the mill body is rotatably mounted. In 1991 the mill was stopped.
