Bruchhausen is a district of Lennestadt in the Olpe district and is located in the Veischedetal on the section of the B55 that leads from Kirchveischede to Oberveischede . Small branches lead to the houses, which are a bit off the main road.
References to the existence of the site go back to the early 14th century. Examples are: 1329 Rotger von Broychusen, 1383 Heinemann von Broichusen, 1543 Heinemann zu Brockhaußen a. a. The place name is based on the basic word "-husen" and the Low German "-brok" for swamp or breakland. Both parts of the word have adapted to the high German spelling. Taking into account the local location in the Veischedetal, the possible description of the location for Bruchhausen is "near the houses on the Bruch".
The small town with 29 inhabitants at the end of June 2020 is rural and surrounded by forests and meadows. There is a range of holiday apartments and overnight accommodations available. Nearby leisure destinations are the Biggesee , the Atta cave and the Elspe Festival .
