history

Brodau belonged to the electoral office of Delitzsch until 1815 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place became part of Prussia and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which it belonged until 1952. In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Brodau was assigned to the newly tailored Delitzsch district in the Leipzig district, which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 .

Due to the decision taken at the 8th SED party conference in 1971 to "expand the energetic base" in the GDR , the rural district of Delitzsch, which had previously been dominated by agriculture, was declared a mining area. For the extraction of lignite in the area around Delitzsch the opening of five opencast mines was planned. In the Brodau area, these were the Delitzsch-Südwest and Delitzsch-Süd opencast mines. With the opening of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine in 1976, large-scale mining of lignite began in the immediate vicinity of Brodau. The pivot point of the open pit was located southwest of the place. Since it was moving counterclockwise, the demolition of Brodau was planned for a later date. However, due to the change in energy policy associated with German reunification in 1989/90, Brodau was spared this fate. At the time when the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine was shut down quickly and early in 1992/93, the opencast mine had only penetrated as far as Werbelin , the devastation of which was still being carried out amid massive public protests. The opening of the Delitzsch-Süd opencast mine was never realized. The remaining hole on the site of the former Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine was flooded between 1998 and 2010 and has since formed the Werbeliner Lake .

On January 1, 1994, Brodau, Döbernitz, Beerendorf and Selben merged to form the municipality of Döbernitz . With the incorporation of Döbernitz into the city of Delitzsch, Brodau has been part of the city of Delitzsch since March 1, 2004.
