history

The first written mention of the village Brzezowa belonging to the Lukov rule was in the Libri citationum ( cargo books / knihy půhonné ) together with Ostrata , Veselá and Lužkovice as property of Ješek von Sternberg in 1407 . After the goods were disputed in the first half of the 15th century, Brzezowa always belonged to the Lukov Castle from 1453. When Aleš the Younger von Sternberg inherited the rule in 1480, Brzezowa was explicitly mentioned. In 1516 Ludmila von Sternberg signed the land table Brzezowa and other goods to Wilhelm Kuna von Kunstadt . Later the Nekesch von Landek acquired the goods. Lucretia von Witschkow, née Nekesch von Landek, who had inherited the rule in 1607, married Albrecht von Waldstein in 1609 . This tried in vain to recatholize his subjects. In 1625 Waldstein Lukov ceded all accessories to the emperor, who passed the rule to Stephan Schmidt von Freihofen. From this in 1628 the Minkwitz von Minkwitzburg acquired the now heavily indebted rule. As a result of the Thirty Years War, two of the 14 properties in the village were still in desolation in 1656. The bailiwick was exempt from forced labor; However, she was obliged to serve as a hunter in relation to the rulers for military service, for the delivery of hazel grouse and for the division of subjects to labor as required. The Czech school in Brzezowa was subordinated to the Catholic parish Slušovice in the same year . Since 1671 the village was called Bržesowa . In 1710 the lords of Rottal bought Lukov. Johann von Rottal sold the goods in 1724 to Johann Friedrich Graf von Seilern -Aspang, whose descendants held the property until 1945. From 1751 the place name Bržezowa was used. In 1790 the village consisted of 37 houses and had 216 inhabitants. In 1834, 336 people lived in the 49 houses in Bržezowa . Until the middle of the 19th century the village always belonged to the Lukov rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Bržezowa 1850 a municipality in the district administration Uherský Brod . From 1855 the village belonged to the Vizovice District and from 1868 to the Holešov District . In 1869 the village had 394 inhabitants. The current place name Březová has been used since 1872. In 1890 the place consisted of 64 houses and had 326 inhabitants. Between 1890 and 1891 Březová had its own village school. In 1900 the number of houses was unchanged, the population had increased to 359. In contrast to the evangelical villages of Moravian Wallachia, these were without exception Catholic. In the same year the volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1912, research began to build a dam in Janůvky-Grund. As a result of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the dam project came to a standstill. After Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918, the Counts Seilern had to involuntarily sell part of their large estates. This also included the Neuhof ( Nové Dvory ) in the Dřevnice valley. In 1929 the road to Nové Dvor was made and in 1933 a branch of the Slušovice Citizen School was opened in Březová. The manorial forest area Janůvky was divided in 1935 between the municipalities Březová, Hrobice, Slušovice and Trnava. On October 1, 1935, Březová was electrified and in the same year the village was assigned to the new Zlín district. A monument to TG Masaryk was unveiled in front of the elementary school on July 19, 1936. After the German occupation , the place received the Germanized name Birkenwald . From 1950 Březová belonged to the Okres Gottwaldov-okolí and from 1960 back to the Okres Gottwaldov, which has been called Okres Zlín again since 1990 after the political change . In the 1970s, the Slušovice drinking water reservoir was built in Janůvky Grund. 1976 Březová was incorporated into Slušovice . In 1977 the village consisted of 123 houses and had 500 inhabitants. In 1990 the village broke away from Slušovice and formed its own municipality. The village is known for its plum brandy .

Březová has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1996. The former shows eight eight-pointed gold stars on a blue sign as a symbol for the Lords of Sternberg. In the center there is a silver shield with a natural birch tree.
