At the end of the 17th and in the first half of the 18th century, in addition to the form Autiechow, it was also called Tři Dvory (German: Drey hofen), or Tři Dvory u Útěchova (German: Drey hofen bei Autiechow), because it was formed by three estates.

At that time, it was owned by Čeněk Krušina of Lichtenburg from the Lichtenburg family of the Ronov, as part of the new estate of the nearby Ronov castle, who then registered a dowry for his wife in the land registers on this estate.

Because he died childless, the estate, including Útěchov, fell to the margrave Jobst of Moravia upon his death.

The Černá Hora branch of the Boskovice lords then held the Nový Hrad estate, except for short periods around 1419 and the 1560s, until the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, when Ferdinand I sold it to them in 1562.

In 1604, he became a co-owner of the Nový Hrad estate, which meant that the Liechtensteins acquired this property and Útěchov.

[3] After the Thirty Years' War, the village consisted of only three homesteads, from which the then variant name of the settlement, Tři Dvory, was derived, first documented in 1667.

Eight years later, according to the land register, four settlers were farming here and the number of houses and residents gradually increased.

[6] In the second half of the 19th century, most of the inhabitants worked in agriculture or forestry, some housekeepers made a living as workers in Brno's factories.

[11] In 1903, the organization of Social Democracy in Útěchov was founded, and two years later, a workers' gymnasium was established.

[14] That same year, as part of the land reform, the Liechtenstein forest estate Adamov was expropriated.

Shortly after the war, a cross was erected on the road to Vranov to commemorate the end of the fighting.

[17] The bus line Královo Pole - Soběšice was extended to Útěchov on September 1, 1952,[19] and a municipal radio station was constructed in 1956.

[17] On July 1, 1953, Útěchov was enlarged to include a colony of houses at the northwestern corner of the forest, which had previously been part of Vranov.

[22][23][24] Between 1977 and 1980, the forest path Hrádková cesta, leading from Útěchov past Ronov Castle to Adamov, was converted into a road.

[28] When Brno was reorganized after the Velvet Revolution, Útěchov became the city district of Brno-Útěchov on 24 November 1990.

[31] The population remained stagnant at around 200 until the early 1990s, with the number of houses increasing slightly.

Many new streets were built here, and the village became a satellite settlement of Brno, consisting mainly of family houses and villas without civic amenities like a shop, doctor, post office, or cultural center.

It borders Brno-Ořešín to the west, Vranov to the north and northeast, Bílovice nad Svitavou to the south and southeast and Adamov at a single point to the east.

[35] The village lies at the top of a prominent, completely forested ridge of Drahanská vrchovina, facing south towards Brno, which is bordered to the east by the Svitava river and to the west by the Rakovec and Ponávka rivers.

The only significant peak in Útěchov is a forested elevation of 475 m above sea level in the southern part of the area, by the road to Soběšice, referred to as Kněží hora (lit.

The city district of Brno-Útěchov includes the entire municipal part and cadastral territory of ​​Útěchov u Brna.

[48][49] During the 2020 transport census, 3,118 motor vehicles passed through Útěchov on road III/37915 per day on average.

[50] The second publicly accessible connection is formed by Hrádková cesta, which starts on the northern edge of Útěchov, continues eastward and turns around Ronov Castle into the Svitava valley in Adamov.

Since the end of the 18th century, children of Útěchov have been educated in a one-classroom school in Vranov, which has changed several locations in the village over the years.
