Summary
About the place: Brno-Maloměřice a Obřany is a self-governing municipal district of the statutory city of Brno, situated in its northeastern part along the Svitava River. Comprising the two historically distinct suburban settlements of Maloměřice and Obřany, it features a mix of residential areas, railway and industrial heritage, and scenic natural landscapes at the gateway to the Moravian Karst.
Flag Description: The flag of the municipal district Brno-Maloměřice a Obřany has an aspect ratio of 2:3 and consists of three horizontal stripes of green, white, and blue in a width ratio of 2:1:2.
Symbolism: The flag's colours and arrangement are directly derived from the tinctures and design of the district's historical coat of arms. The upper green stripe represents the upper green field of the arms (referencing the historic seal of Maloměřice and local greenery). The middle white stripe corresponds to the narrow silver fess that divides the shield, representing the union of both communities. The lower blue stripe is derived from the lower blue field of the arms (representing Obřany) and symbolises the Svitava River flowing through the district.
