history
The village was first mentioned on April 26, 1296. Brossen is one of the few places in today's Altenburger Land district that historically did not belong to Saxony-Altenburg . Together with today belonging also to Thuringia Meuselwitz places Zipsendorf , Falkenhain and Rusendorf was Brossen to 1815 in the office Zeitz , which as part of the Bishopric of Naumburg-Zeitz since 1561 under electoral Saxon stood sovereignty and between 1656/57 and 1718 for Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Zeitz belonged to. Due to the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place came to Prussia in 1815 and was assigned to the Zeitz district in the administrative district of Merseburg of the province of Saxony in 1816.
Since the second half of the 19th century, lignite mining around the place was of increasing importance. Brossen was in the Prussian western part of the Meuselwitz-Altenburg lignite mining area . In the east and north of the place between 1931 and 1939/40 the open- cast brown coal mine "Schädegrube II" extended. West of Brossen, the Zipsendorf-Süd opencast mine was in operation between 1948 and 1964 .
Brossen, which came to the newly founded state of Saxony-Anhalt in 1947 with the former Prussian district of Zeitz , was incorporated into Zipsendorf on July 1, 1950. With the territorial reform in the GDR in 1952 , Zipsendorf and its Brossen district were assigned to the newly cut Zeitz district in the Halle district . On December 4, 1952, the communities of Zipsendorf with Brossen, Falkenhain with the corridor of Rusendorf and Mumsdorf, which only came to the Zeitz district in 1950, were reclassified to the Altenburg district in the Leipzig district .
On January 1, 1973, Zipsendorf and Brossen became districts of Meuselwitz through incorporation. With the re-establishment of the Free State of Thuringia Brossen came as a district of Meuselwitz to the Thuringian district of Altenburg, which merged in 1994 to form the district of Altenburger Land.
