history
Based on the ground plan of the village, it is assumed that Hrušky was created during colonization at the beginning of the 13th century. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1348, when Margrave Jobst of Moravia acquired the Týnec estate with the villages of Tvrdonice, Kostice, Dluhonice, Hrušky, Lanžhot and the town of Týnec . In 1605, Stephan Bocskai's troops invaded and devastated the village. At the beginning of the Thirty Years War, Hrušky was again plundered and devastated by the imperial troops in 1619. The oldest local seal dates from 1622. After numerous changes of ownership, Karl Eusebius von Liechtenstein acquired the goods in 1638 and added them to his rule Lundenburg . During the war the village became deserted. In the hoof register of 1656, only four of the 52 properties for Hrušky are shown as managed. In 1673 the Turks invaded Hrušky. In the 18th century, the Liechtensteiners established a Dominikal farm in Hrušky, where the subjects of Hrušky, Nová Ves and Týnec had to do their labor. In 1763 the village had 521 inhabitants. On May 1, 1841, the Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn began operating on the Lundenburg- Olmütz line . However, the trains rolled past Hrušky without stopping. Until the middle of the 19th century, Hrušky always remained subject to the princes of Liechtenstein. The residents lived from agriculture.
After the abolition of patrimonial Hrušky / Birnbaum formed a community in the Hodonín district from 1850 . In 1926, the Liechtensteiners sold parts of the property belonging to the estate to interested parties. At the end of the 19th century, the Liechtensteiners founded a school in Birnbaum in return for a twenty-year hunting lease. At the instigation of the owners of the Lundenburger sugar factory, the Kuffner family , the Birnbaum station was set up in 1911. Since this was primarily designed as a transshipment point for sugar beets, it was laid out in the open field north of the Setí háj tree nursery . It was not until 1926 that a stopping point for passenger traffic was created directly at Hrušky. During the Second World War on April 13, 1945 the Red Army took the village. In 1949 the community was assigned to the Okres Břeclav. The village had the highest population in its history in 1961 with 1961 people. The 2001 census counted 536 houses and 1,414 inhabitants in Hrušky.
