Bruchhof

Gut Königsbruch , formerly "Tascher Hof"

On the map by Tilemann Stella from 1564/1565 there is only one farm in the area of ​​today's Bruchhof, the Naun-Hof . In 1760/70 the Bruchhof , later Königsbrucher Hof , then named after its penultimate owner Tascher Hof and today Gut Königsbruch , was built. This is located on the northeastern outskirts of Bruchhof and is a listed building. The manor house with its farm buildings is very similar to the Louisenhof, built in 1760 on the Buchenbergsoll, which was the nucleus of the Karlsberg Palace.

The Königsbruch , which gave the Königsbrucher Hof and thus ultimately Bruchhof its name, is part of the Landstuhler Bruch , an extensive moorland.

In 1811 there were only two small houses, called Steinthor , in addition to the Königsbrucher Hof . The day laborers, artisans and small farmers employed at the Königsbrucher and Karlsberger Hof gradually settled in the district, which is still known today as Schelmenkopf (named after the 258 meter high local mountain). This later became today's Bruchhof. The Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway runs through the town ; but there are no more stops.

Sand village

In the Sanddorfer Wald on the Karlsberg, formerly Buchenberg, are the ruins of the Karlsberg Castle . The only remaining building in the palace complex is the Karlsberger Hof in Sanddorf. It was built in 1776–85 as a construction warehouse for the castle and subsequently used as a storage and residential building, sugar refinery, brewery and forestry house. Finally it was bought by the Karlsberg Brewery in 1975 , renovated and then used as the director's villa.

Eichelscheid

In Eichelscheid there was a train station from 1892 to 1959. This was used by the residents of Bechhofen , Lambsborn , Rosenkopf , Käshofen and Wiesbach , for whom Eichelscheid was the closest station. Attached to the station was a freight station where mainly fertilizers, seeds and agricultural machines were handled for the places mentioned, but above all for the Eichelscheiderhof .

From 1920 to 1935 and from 1945 to the end of 1956, the station was the railway border station between the then independent Saar area or Saarland and the Federal Republic of Germany . The Kaiserstrasse border crossing was also here. With the reintegration of Saarland in 1959, the breakpoint was closed.

Political Affiliation

After the Congress of Vienna, Bruchhof and Sanddorf belonged to the Landkommissariat Homburg in the Bavarian Rhine district from 1818 to 1862 (renamed " Kreis Pfalz " in 1837 ), from 1862 to 1920 to the district office of Homburg . As a result of the Versailles Treaty , Bruchhof and Sanddorf were spun off from the Homburg district office and remained with the German Empire when the Saar area was separated . On April 1, 1921, the localities Bruchhof and Sanddorf formed an independent municipality which, like Kirrberg, from then on belonged to the Zweibrücken District Office . After a referendum it was incorporated into the city of Homburg on April 1, 1938.

Camping site Königsbruch

The Königsbruch campsite is located in the Königsbruch between Eichelscheid and Eichelscheiderhof . With 250,000 m² of floor space and 500 parking spaces at four of its own quarry ponds , it is one of the largest campsites in Saarland.

The new Kehrberghütte

Facilities

The primary school Bruchhof-Sanddorf, a day-care center and a branch of the city library are located in the village. The newly designed village square was inaugurated in May 2009. Somewhat out of the way in the forest on the Großer Kehrberg is the new Gustav-Köhler-Hütte (Kehrberghütte) of the Palatinate Forest Association, local group Homburg , which opened in 2012 . It replaces the old Kehrberghütte from 1956, which fell victim to an arson attack in 2010 .
