Summary
About the place: Brno-Starý Lískovec is a municipal district on the south-western edge of Brno, combining a historic rural village core with an extensive 1980s prefabricated housing estate.
Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, white and wavy blue. On the upper wavy edge of the blue stripe, a black Eurasian coot swims towards the fly. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is derived from the historic coat of arms and seal dating back to the 18th century. The swimming Eurasian coot (Czech: lyska) serves as a canting symbol based on phonetic similarity with the settlement's name (Lískovec), while the wavy blue stripe symbolizes water (local ponds and the Leskava stream).
