Summary

About the place: Brno-Kohoutovice is a municipal district situated in the western part of Brno, set amidst the rugged, wooded landscape of the Bobrava Highlands. Originally an independent rural village, it transformed in the 20th century into a predominantly residential area characterized by modern housing estates surrounded by extensive forests.

Flag Description: The flag of the Brno-Kohoutovice municipal district has an aspect ratio of 2:3 and consists of three horizontal stripes – green, white, and green. From the second quarter of the central stripe, a white bend and a white bend sinister extend to the first quarter of the upper and lower edges of the fly. The resulting triangular fields along the hoist edge are blue.

Symbolism: The color palette and geometric design of the flag derive from the municipal district's coat of arms, which features a canting rooster beneath an azure chief. The green represents the lush surrounding forests and natural setting, white (silver) refers to the silver rooster and heraldic lining, and the blue corresponds to the shield's chief reflecting historical local seals and historic ecclesiastical heritage.
