Grote-Brogel

Description

Grote-Brogel in Briegel) is a village in the Maaseik district of the province of Belgian Limburg. Together with the village of Erpekom, it has formed a part municipality of the city of Peer since 1976. Grote-Brogel covers about 20 km² and had 2,722 inhabitants in 2006. The oldest written mention is Brogilo, derived from Celtic/Germanic brogil, meaning "wooded marsh". The vowel change from "oo" to "uu" in Limburgish resulted in the pronunciation [bryəɣəl]?. This led to spellings Brugele, Broegel, and Breugel. The adjective "great" appeared in the 16th century to clarify the distinction between Bruegel and Cleyn Bruegel. Groot Bruegel was already used in 1558, although simply Bruegel also appeared later. Groot Bruegel still existed in 1795, but in addition, a less dialectal-sounding variant emerged: Grooten Broogele. The village is still referred to as "Brugel" or "Breugel" by the surrounding villages and towns, but oddly enough, the residents of Brogel themselves say "Briegel".
