Summary
About the place: Brno-Medlánky is a municipal district situated on the northern outskirts of Brno, blending a preserved historic village character with modern residential developments and scenic nature around the Medlánky Hills. Originally an independent municipality, it was permanently incorporated into Brno in 1960.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of white, blue, and white in a width ratio of 1:3:1, separated by wavy lines. The width-to-length ratio of the sheet is 2:3.
Symbolism: The colour scheme and the wavy lines of the stripes directly derive from the district's coat of arms, where the blue field and wavy elements symbolise water, representing local streams (such as the Ponávka and Medlánky brook) and historic ponds.
