history

The name of the place is derived from Breiter Bruch . The village was first verifiably mentioned in 1819 in a statistic in which it is stated as belonging to Untrop (Uentrop). Of the 13 houses with 167 Catholics, two must have belonged to the area of ​​the later Breitenbruch. The place Alt-Breitenbruch, which was made up of the houses used for forest purposes, still exists today.

At the time of the Prussians , schooling was banned in Breitenbruch. However, this ban was not followed.

According to a ministerial order of October 27, 1840, the constitution as a municipality of Breitenbruch was probably not decreed until 1846 after further determinations.

In Breitenbruch there is a more than 100 year old St. Hubertus rifle brotherhood, which was founded in 1906 as a “summer festival club”, the volunteer fire brigade Breitenbruch, which can look back on over 125 years of history, and a sports club. There are also a number of restaurants and restaurants in Breitenbruch, as well as a Catholic chapel dedicated to Nikolaus von Flüe . The plan is in the shape of a Greek cross . The chapel was founded on October 29, 1963 benediziert . An extensive renovation was carried out in 1987, during which the sanctuary was also redesigned in accordance with the liturgy. In the basement there is a “youth room” that has existed since the 1960s.

On January 1, 1975, Breitenbruch was incorporated into the city of Arnsberg.
