Brzezin (formerly) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pyrzyce, within Pyrzyce County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) north of Pyrzyce and 340NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Szczecin.
The name Brzezin was believed to have its roots in the Polish word for birch (brzoza). In 1937 the Bund Deutscher Osten urged the mayor of the village to Germanize the settlement's name to Birkenhain.[2]
