[4] In the Middle Ages, the village of Bruschied belonged to a great landhold of Saint Maximin's Abbey near Trier, which comprised, besides Bruschied itself, also Hausen near Rhaunen, Woppenroth, Blickersau, Kaffeld (two now vanished villages that once lay within Woppenroth's limits), Bundenbach and Schneppenbach, and was presumably subject to the Hof Hausen (the manor).

The two villages’ municipal area was at the same time in the Middle Ages a “court region”, where the Schultheiß and Schöffen (roughly “lay jurists”) exercised low jurisdiction (that is, they did not have the power to impose the death penalty) within this Ingericht.

Since the Electora-Trier Amtmann Nikolaus Schenk von Schmidtburg converted to the new belief, all the villagers in Bruschied, too, had to adopt Protestantism.

After the French Revolutionary territorial and administrative reform in 1798, Bruschied was grouped into the newly formed mairie de Kirn (mayoralty), to which it belonged until the end of the Napoleonic occupation in 1814.

[3] Foremost among Bruschied's buildings under monumental protection is Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church (Kirche St. Franz Xaver), built in 1892/1893 to plans drawn up by Freiburg Cathedral Master Builder Max Meckel on the site of a smaller church from the 18th century as a Gothic Revival, one-naved, plastered building with a five-eighths quire.

[11] The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt, darin ein rotes Balkenkreuz, in blauem Feld zwei gekreuzte silberne Dachdeckerhämmer, bekleidet von einer silbernen Dachplatte.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure two slater's hammers in saltire, between their heads a slate shingle, all argent, on a chief of the same a cross gules.
