Historically, Großbrücken has been a predominantly agricultural settlement. Its origins can be traced back to medieval times, with evidence of early settlements in the region. The name "Großbrücken" itself suggests the presence of significant bridges in its past, likely serving as important crossings over local waterways.

The village's landscape is characterized by its proximity to the Oder River floodplain and agricultural fields.

Like many villages in Brandenburg, Großbrücken has experienced population changes over the decades, reflecting broader demographic trends in rural Germany.

The local infrastructure primarily serves the residents of the village and its immediate surroundings. While Großbrücken itself is a small community, its integration into the larger municipality of Neuzelle provides access to broader services and amenities. The cultural heritage of the region is often linked to the history of monastic settlements, particularly the famous Neuzelle Abbey, which has influenced the development and character of the surrounding areas.
