Brzezinka, Village in Gmina Oświęcim, Lesser Poland Voivodeship
Located 3 kilometers from Oświęcim, Brzezinka sits at an elevation of 240 meters, surrounded by wetlands and forests in the western region.
First documented in 1385, Brzezinka belonged to the Duchy of Oświęcim before becoming a fief of the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1327.
The village name originates from the Polish word for birch trees, reflecting the natural vegetation that characterized the local landscape throughout centuries.
Modern Brzezinka houses two industrial facilities: the Omag machinery factory and the Polinova manufacturing plant, providing employment opportunities for residents.
The geographical position between the Vistula and Soła rivers confluence influenced the settlement patterns and development of this Polish village.
