history
In the chronicle of the village, it is assumed that the village was first mentioned in 860. Wolfgang Kahl proves that it was first mentioned in a document from 1251. From the Iron Age, remains of broken fragments document the use of the area around the later castle complex. It was protected by steep slopes and ramparts and ditches. The castle served to protect the Helbe monastery courtyard .
Germanic settlers settled in the lower village because of the water. The flood danger of the Losbach pushed the settlers north to today's Angerberg . The names of the settlement changed continuously from Unterbrüchter , Mittelbrüchter , Oberbrüchter and to Großbrüchter according to the settlement design, until a church was built together on the Angerberg . The hardest time for the people began around 1600. Poverty from poor harvests, suffering from disease. The place lost 100 people to the plague . The Thirty Years War raged in the region. Troops moved back and forth. The farmers fought together. A third of the residents died. Others fled into the woods and into the Giebelfuss hiding place . It was further away from the main roads.
In 1806 Napoleon's armies moved through the area and withdrew again in 1813/14. It was followed by Russian Cossacks who had set up camp in the vicinity of the place.
In 1848 the road was built around the town with a new route. In 1934 the village received a drinking water supply . Both world wars weighed heavily on the place. In the 1950s the farmers then had to take the path of collectivization of agriculture in the GDR and after 1990 found new ways of working on the land.
The founding of the municipality Helbedündorf took place on November 25, 1993 through the merger of the villages and the following municipalities in July and September 1995 (see Helbedündorf).
