History
The first written mention of Březí is from 1249. The village was probably founded in the 11th or 12th century.[2]
Until 1918, Březí was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Nikolsburg (Mikulov) District, one of the 34 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Moravia.[3]
The post-office was opened in 1882.
