history

At the beginning of the 9th century, Brembach was first mentioned as Brantbah in a list of the goods lent by Archbishop Lullus († 786) of Mainz for the monastery of Hersfeld von Free . The place was originally a Germanic settlement on the right of the Scherkonde. A settlement of the Wends arose on the left bank . The name "Wendenbrembach" or "Windischenbrembach" became established for the Slavic settlement, while the Germanic settlement was called "Bornbrembach" because the springs were located there that supplied the place with water for a long time. The exact date of the union of both places is unknown.

Großbrembach belonged to the Wettin Landgraviate of Thuringia in the 14th century . When Leipzig was divided in 1485, the place came to the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony. In the 16th century, Großbrembach was the seat of the Brembach Bailiwick of the same name . In 1544 the seat was moved to the city of Buttelstedt . After the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the "Vogtei Brembach zu Buttelstedt" continued to belong to the Ernestines. It came to the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar when Erfurt was partitioned in 1572 . After the death of Duke Wilhelm IV of Saxony-Weimar , the Brembach Bailiwick was divided in 1662. The majority of the "Vogtei Brembach" with the places Buttelstedt, Großbrembach, Rastenberg, Olbersleben, Niederreißen, Rohrbach and Nermsdorf remained with Duke Johann Ernst II of Saxony-Weimar and in 1735 was affiliated to the Hardisleben office. In 1741 the place came with this to the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . The locations of the Hardisleben office belonged to the Buttstädt office from 1817 , which was opened in the Apolda administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1850 .

During the reign of National Socialism , 45 Polish and 53 Ukrainian forced laborers were employed by farmers. In addition, prisoners of war are said to have been housed in the Thüringer Hof inn in 1942/43. In 1942/43, French prisoners of war are said to have been Italian military internees from autumn 1943 to February 1945 and Russian prisoners of war until shortly before the end of the war. The command with the number 419 belonged to Stalag IX C Bad Sulza.

In 1975, during a rescue excavation "Above the clay pit", Neolithic shallow earth graves and 10 graves with stone protection were uncovered. Both groups of tombs were created at different times by 15 centuries. Traces of wagon wheels, probably from the Bronze Age, have also been seen.

On January 1, 2019, the Großbrembach community was merged with the other communities of the Buttstädt administrative community to form the Buttstädt rural community. In the course of this merger, the zip code has changed to 99628.

On the town's Ratskellerwand there is a symbolic relief on which two men can be seen under a broad hat. At DUŠEK (see below) you can read: " The Franconian-German-Slavic coexistence in medieval Thuringia was based on a fundamentally equal position of both ethnic groups, on the fulfillment of partly common tasks in the development of new settlement areas within the framework of internal development and on the same Subordination of Slavic and German peasant strata to the power of German feudal lords. According to evidence from linguistics and documentary sources, the assimilation of the Slavic population through linguistic and certainly biological mixing must have occurred west and east of the Saale in the 13th and 14th centuries. ..) Assimilation in some places also meant the administrative union of the Slavic and German villages into one community, as was the case, for example, in the first half of the 15th century between Groß- and Windischenbrembach and as a symbolic pictorial representation the Union ication of two men under one hat (title page) as a landmark still gives evidence of it today ". According to DUŠEK, the relief itself dates from the 16th century (note on the title picture).
