history

A few hundred meters west of the small settlement there are cleared barrows , which are dated to the time of the corded ceramics . At the time of the Roman Empire , the older Odenwald line of the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes with the Hainhaus fort from Trajan times ran a few kilometers to the west , so that today's local area was Germanic territory. With the relocation of the Limes to the Main as an extension of the wet Limes by 160 a. At present the area was Roman territory for almost 100 years until the Limes Falls .

The settlement was first mentioned on May 7, 1432 as Brontall in an Erbach document on the division of forest property of the Breuberg lordship. In 1730 the village provided exactly 2 cent men. In 1757 the place was then called Bronnthal . Like the Bremhof, the settlement was administratively divided into two parts in 1787: one part belonged to the county of Erbach-Schönberg , rule Breuberg , the other half to the principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort in the center of Lützelbach . In 1806 the hamlet came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . In 1829 there were 38 inhabitants.

In church terms, the place belonged to Lützelbach in the 16th century, and from 1819 to the parish village of Vielbrunn.
