The honor of Breibach (also in the spelling Brebach ) was from the Middle Ages into the 19th century a honor of the parish of Kürten in the district court of Kürten of the Steinbach office in the Duchy of Berg .

From the Charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking shows that Breibach Titularort was the Honschaft. The area included what is today the Breibach district and parts of the Olpe and Kürten districts in the municipality of Kürten.

At the time, the honors included the residential areas Breibach , Broich , Buche, Brücke , Eichhof , Eiserwarr , Hachenberg , Hägen , Hechelkotten , Hülsensteeg , Hungenbach , Hommermühle , Petersberg , Röttgen , Scheid and Weier .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and Breibach was politically assigned to the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district . At that time, Breibach belonged to the municipality of Kürten.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.
