[1] Bromskirchen lies at the edge of the Rothaargebirge in southwest Waldeck-Frankenberg, right on the boundary with North Rhine-Westphalia's district of Hochsauerlandkreis.

For centuries, the village's livelihood was based on agriculture on scant land, and the forest.

Bromskirchen's civic coat of arms might heraldically be described thus: Party per pale, dexter in sable a sword Or with hilt per cross pattée Or, sinister in argent a lattice per lozengy sable, thereover a fess Or.

The black and silver (or white, or indeed grey, as it appears in this article) were the old County of Battenberg colours.

Bromskirchen is an economic centre and offers more than 900 jobs in its working trades, the greatest share of which is held by the firm Hoppe AG, a leading manufacturer of door and window fittings.
