The Brucher Coal Works Union was founded in 1888 to develop and mine the coal deposits at Bruch. The company acquired a total of 569 hectares of mining fields from a Prague bank.
On December 30, 1940, the company, which last traded as Brucher Kohlenwerke AG, was dissolved by Aryanization from the property of the Jewish industrialist family Weinmann in Sudetenländische Bergbau AG (SUBAG), a subsidiary of Hermann-Göring-Werke .

In 1939 the company operated the following underground pits:
- Kohinoor shafts broken
- Marie broken
- Paul II in Oberleutensdorf

In the vicinity of their pits, the Brucher coal works operated an extensive standard-gauge works railway network. The so-called Brucher sand track , on which the company's own locomotives were used, was used to bring in the backfill materials required in coal mining (see GBK 001–003 ).
