Bruchköbel is a city in Main-Kinzig district.
background
Bruchköbel was a rather insignificant, rural town for a long time, but it received town charter as early as the Middle Ages, namely on February 6, 1368. The only surviving evidence from this period is a defense tower from 1410, as the whole city was destroyed in a fire around 1634/1635.
The rapid growth of Bruchköbel in recent times is almost exclusively due to the admission of numerous displaced persons from the eastern regions, as evidenced by many street names. Without any notable industry of its own, Bruchköbel serves almost exclusively as a dormitory for commuters to nearby Hanau or Frankfurt; only a modest agriculture is still preserved.
Bruchköbel is also affectionately called "Brechkübel" in the region because the cityscape is characterized by numerous building sins of the 1970s. But that doesn't mean that Bruchköbel doesn't also have buildings that are worth seeing.
Since the incorporation in the 1970s, Bruchköbel has also had four other localities:
- Rossdorf is located north of Bruchköbel and was characterized by through traffic for a long time until the bypass was built. In addition to a medieval town center, Roßdorf is mainly characterized by residential areas.
- Low- and Oberissigheim originally formed a common village but were rebuilt on two separate hills due to frequent flooding. Oberissigheim in particular is still very much characterized by agriculture.
- Butter City With just under 200 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest towns in the region and is located far in the northeast.
