history
The first written mention of the village of Bresovia , which belonged to the Svitavy episcopal rule, was made in 1295 in a document from the Olomouc bishopric. On August 1, 1497, Vladislav II granted the place city rights and the privilege of holding an eight-day fair. The villages Mährisch Wiesen and Mußlau belonged to the town, the latter was incorporated in 1850.
Handicrafts played a major role in the town. The shoemakers had had their guild as early as the 16th century, and the tailors, bakers, blacksmiths, butchers and weavers' guilds emerged in the following century. In addition, the water of the Svitava mills drove and the Brüsau flour enjoyed a good reputation.
The construction of the railway from Prague via Brno to Vienna, on which the first train rolled on January 1, 1849, brought an economic boom. Textile mills, a paper mill and a sawmill were established there. On November 4, 1869, double-track traffic began on the main railway line.
Since 1850 the city belonged to the political district Mährisch Trübau and the judicial district Zwittau . In 1880 there were 1918 people in Brüsau. Between 1911 and 1913 the first Brüsau waterworks was built in Mußlau to supply Brno with drinking water . According to the Munich Agreement , Brüsau, whose inhabitants were around 2/3 German, was incorporated into the German Reich and from 1939 to 1945 belonged to the district of Zwittau , district of Troppau , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland .
After the end of the war the German population was expelled and in 1945 the town charter was not renewed. In 1948 the district of Muzlov was resettled and renatured to enlarge the drinking water protection area ; only a house and the chapel remained. In 1972 the construction of the second waterworks began, which was completed in 1975.
