history

The exact time of its creation is not known, but it is believed that the place was created in the 8th century.

In 1147, Brotdorf is mentioned for the first time under the name "Brutdorf" in the audit report of Bishop Alberto: "In Brutorf there is a ban mill that belongs to the Schwarzenberg fief and brings in 17 Malter grain annually to its rule". In 1212 the Archbishop of Trier acquired the land of "Bruchdorf" and gave it as a fief to Frederich von Enzenberch. In 1323 the court and manorial lordship of Broedorf were owned by the knight Peter von der Brücken as a fiefdom of Raugrafen Georg , who owned Brotdorf in 1325 as an after-fief of the Archbishopric of Trier. The lineage of those von Brücken comes from Merzig.

At the end of the Thirty Years War there were only four residents left.

As a result of the French Revolution , from 1798 to 1814, Brotdorf belonged to the Saar Department , Arrondissement Saarbrücken , Canton Merzig , Mairie Hausbach. Together with a considerable part of the left bank of the Rhine , Brotdorf came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 as a result of the Congress of Vienna . As this reorganized its territory, Brotdorf in 1816 the county Merzig in Trier Region of the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine (from 1822 to unification with the Province of Jülich-Cleves-Berg " Rhine province assigned"). As a result, Brotdorf became part of the North German Confederation in 1867 and part of the newly founded German Empire in 1871 .

After the conclusion of the Versailles Treaty after the First World War , the southern part of the administrative district of Trier, including part of the district of Merzig with areas of Bavaria and Oldenburg, was merged to form the so-called Saar area , which was created at random . Although this still belonged to Germany under international law, it was subject to a government commission set up by the League of Nations . Brotdorf and the neighboring community of Bachem became border towns until 1935. As a result of the first Saar referendum on January 13, 1935, Brotdorf came back under complete German sovereignty. In 1932 the parish church of St. Maria Magdalena was rebuilt based on a design by the architect Clemens Holzmeister . In 1938 Brotdorf came to the city of Merzig, in 1946 this affiliation was revoked. Brotdorf belonged to Merzig-Land in the reunited district of Merzig.

In the course of the regional reform , Brotdorf came back to Merzig as a district on January 1, 1974 with 3364 inhabitants . In the same year, Brotdorf became the largest district next to the core city due to the new development areas 'Wild II' and 'Wild III'. Today Brotdorf has a good 3800 inhabitants and is therefore the fourth largest place in terms of population in the entire Merzig-Wadern district after Merzig, Losheim am See and Beckingen.
