Flag Description: Březiny is a small rural municipality in the Svitavy District of the Pardubice Region, located within the picturesque landscape of the Žďárské vrchy Protected Landscape Area along the upper Svratka River. The village features dispersed settlement patterns with traditional vernacular architecture and historic ties to iron forging and glassmaking.

Symbolism: The halved tree combines a birch and a linden: the birch functions as a canting symbol referencing the municipality's name (derived from birch) and local birch groves, while the linden represents notable local memorial trees (the Luňáček and Drašar lindens). The blue stripe symbolizes the Svratka River. The golden cogged wheel with four cogs recalls historical watermills and iron forges while simultaneously referencing the prominent nearby rock formation Čtyři palice (The Four Clubs).
