History
The village was founded during the German colonisation in the 13th century. The first written mention of Brod nad Dyjí is from 1355, when it was called Guldenfurt/Kolenfurt. From that year until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, it belonged to the Drnholec estate.[8]
From 1938 to 1945, the municipality was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Niederdonau. After World War II, many German-speaking inhabitants fled to Austria and the rest were expelled.
In 1947, the municipality was renamed from Kolenfurt to its current name.[9]
