On 9 June 1161, Brockscheid had its first documentary mention when Pope Victor IV approved for the Abbey of Echternach the proclamation of Christ's teaching in Broxsceith (Brockscheid) and Texscith (Tettscheid).
Also bound with the village's history is the old, now ruined, castle, Burg Freudenstein, whose remnants can still be seen in the woods.
