Summary
About the place: Brno-jih (Brno-South) is a municipal district situated in the southern part of the statutory city of Brno at the confluence of the Svratka and Svitava rivers. It comprises the cadastral areas of Dolní Heršpice, Horní Heršpice, Komárov, Přízřenice, and part of Trnitá, combining historic rural village cores with extensive commercial and industrial zones and major motorway junctions.
Flag Description: A white field featuring a blue horizontal pall (fork) issuing from the first and seventh sevenths of the upper and lower hoist edges, with its apex reaching one-third of the flag's length. The hoist triangle within the pall is charged with a green four-lobed vine leaf. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The blue horizontal pall represents the confluence of Brno's two primary rivers, the Svratka and the Svitava, which meet directly within the district near Přízřenice. The green four-lobed vine leaf reflects the historical viticultural and agricultural roots of the local communities and symbolically denotes the four main historic cadastral quarters that form the core of the district (Komárov, Dolní Heršpice, Horní Heršpice, and Přízřenice). White and blue allude to the watercourses.
