Unlike the neighboring (small) Brown grove , the four other places until 1815 as Kaynaische villages called exclave of the Saxon Office Borna formed and then belonged until 1945 to Prussia, Great Brown Hain was in wettinischen Office Altenburg , which in the 16th century due Several divisions in the course of its existence under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 until 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the Duchy, Großbraunshain belonged to the Eastern District (until 1900) and to the Ronneburg District Office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .

On July 1, 1950, Großbraunshain was incorporated into Lumpzig . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Großbraunshain came to the district of Leipzig as part of the municipality Lumpzig with the district Schmölln ; that had belonged to Thuringia since 1990 as the district of Schmölln and became part of the district of Altenburger Land during the Thuringian district reform in 1994 . The neighboring village of Braunshain has also belonged to the Schmölln district since 1952, but only became part of Lumpzig when it was reclassified in 1956. On January 1, 2019, the Lumpzig community was dissolved and Großbraunshain was incorporated into Schmölln.
