history
The settlement area, which around 1900 only consisted of a brickworks and a homestead, was given a breakpoint on the former railway line from Gera to Meuselwitz in order to be able to transport fuel and brickwork products inexpensively. Today the railway site has been demolished, the brickworks replaced by an industrial park and the entire corridor has been built over with Brahme's single-family houses. On October 1, 1922, Waaswitz was incorporated into Culm, followed by Groitschen on October 1, 1937 . On November 13, 1937, the Culm parish was renamed Brahmenau . On July 1, 1950, Zschippach was finally incorporated. The street name Culmer Weg reminds of the former place.
