Overview:
Břeclav is an important hub in the railroad network (the first junction in Austria-Hungary). It is located at the intersection of the routes to and from Brno - Prague, Ostrava - Kraków/Katowice (Poland), Kúty - Bratislava (Slovakia) and Hohenau - Vienna (Austria).
In 1834 Břeclav (together with nearby village Stará Břeclav) had only 2,952 inhabitants. Thanks to the railway connection (1839) and subsequent industrialisation, this number increased to 13,689 (1930). Up to World War II a German-speaking (11,6 % in 1930) and a Jewish (4,3 %) minorities lived in the town.
