As a result of the Second World War, in 1945, like most of Silesia , Bürgsdorf fell under Polish administration. The place was subsequently renamed Brzezinki and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
