As he confesses in the résumé at the end of his dissertation , the suggestion on this topic came from Karl Lamprecht , who had had a significant influence on him. Bruchmüller was a member of the Red Lion fraternity in Leipzig. The fact that Crossen was published frequently in his first publications is not a coincidence, but also stems from the fact that he was a correspondent for the "Crossener Wochenblatt" from 1893 onwards. In addition, since 1895 he was editor of the " Leipziger Volkszeitung ". However, he mostly earned his living as a journalist . Since 1920 he worked in Plauen in the "Vogtlandische Anzeiger" as the main article writer.

The University of Leipzig has a central place in his work on the history of students , although he was not limited to this university. His student history work is still important today. So he also wrote u. a. about stories in Märkisches or about West Rhine history, which is certainly also related to a temporary stay in Cologne , where he was employed as a volunteer in the city ​​archive from 1898 to 1902 . Bruchmüller proved the Societas Sorabica , which is the oldest student union, that it was a country team.

Bruchmüller married Martha Kohtz in 1901; they had a son together.
