Bronneger is a small village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 18 km east of Assen.
The village was first mentioned between 1381 and 1383 as "te Bronyncgem", and means "settlement of the people of Bruno (person)".[4] Bronneger is an esdorp which developed as a satellite of Drouwen. It is an elongated settlement without a church.[5]
Bronneger was home to 90 people in 1840.[6] In the 1990s, there was a stupa and Buddhist monastery in Bronneger, however it moved to Makkinga. The owner was later involved in a sexual abuse scandal and the monastery has since been dissolved.[6][7]
