Until 1 January 2007 Bredebro was the seat of the former Bredebro Municipality (Danish, kommune).

Bredebro Municipality

The former Bredebro Municipality covered an area of 151 km², and had a total population of 3,680 (2005). Its last mayor was Vagn Therkel Pedersen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a kommunalreform ("Municipality Reform") that combined the Ballum, Brede, Randerup, Sønder, and Visby parishes.

Bredebo Municipality ceased to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Højer, Løgumkloster, Nørre-Rangstrup, Skærbæk, and Tønder municipalities to form the new Tønder Municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 1,352 square kilometres (522 sq mi) and a total population of 42,645 (2005).
