Brachstedt was first mentioned in a document in 952 as marca Brehstedi . Finds indicate a much earlier settlement. A line of the von Rauchhaupt family was wealthy in the village .

Brachstedt and its present-day districts High and Wurp belonged to the Office Giebichenstein in Saalkreis of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . In 1680 they came to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule. Between 1807 and 1813 Brachstedt, Hohen and Wurp were in the canton of Oppin of the Kingdom of Westphalia ( Halle district of the Saale department ). From 1815 they belonged to the Saalkreis in the Prussian province of Saxony .

Wurp and Hohen were incorporated into Brachstedt on April 1, 1938.

Until the formation of the unified community Petersberg on 1 January 2010 Brachstedt was an independent municipality in the Götschetal-Petersberg with the corresponding districts and High Wurp. The last mayor of Brachstedt was Gerhard Müller.

coat of arms

Brachstedt coat of arms
 Blazon : "Over agreen corrugated shield foot in goldcoveredwith three golden plowshares, a red scale on a red flaming sword ."
Reasons for the coat of arms: The plowshares indicate agriculture, the base of the shield on the hills (Abatassinenberg, Dachsberg, Steinberg, Günthersberg, Burgstetten). The scales indicate the time when Brachstedt was an archpriest's seat with ecclesiastical jurisdiction. The sword is that of St. Michael , to whom the Church is consecrated.
