History
Brebel was first mentioned in King Valdemar's land register in 1231 as Brethæbøl. In 1799, the village got a school. In the years 1908 to 1969 there was a dairy in Brebel. Brebel has developed from a farming village into an almost purely residential area. The place name is a combination of Danish bred for broad and -bøl for settlement, hence the meaning is roughly broad settlement. On March 1, 2018, the previously independent municipality of Brebel was incorporated into Süderbrarup.Politics
Out of the nine seats in the last municipal council, the KWB voters' association had six seats since the 2013 local elections and the BfB voters' association had three. The last mayor was Wolfhard Kutz (KWB).Coat of Arms
Blazon : “In gold below between two blue wavy bars a blue wavy thread, above a green four-leaf clover with an applied golden crosshair as leaf veins”. Kommunale Wappenrolle Schleswig-Holstein/ref> The cloverleaf in Brebel's coat of arms reflects the four districts of Brebelholz, Groß Brebel, Klein Brebel and Loitstraße. In its simplicity, it also radiates harmony between the districts. The crosshairs represent the road junction in the town center formed by the state and federal roads . This "long-distance traffic junction" is important for Brebel's economic development. At the same time, it expresses the population's openness in all directions. The wavy bars in the base of the shield represent the watercourses that flow through and border the local area.Literature
