Brno-Komín

The Komín development is concentrated in the surroundings of the Svratka river and on the adjacent northern slopes, the rest of the cadastre area consists mainly of arable land, forests and also the Medlánky Airport runway system.

The original village of Komín with the church of St. Vavřinec, which is closely connected to the local panel housing estate in the north.

[2] The oldest archeological findings prove settlement already in the older Stone Age, the Paleolithic, approximately 50 thousand years BC.

Between 400 and 200 years before the turn of the century, the Celts, a tribe of the Boii, occupy the territory, which brings not only the development of material culture, but also art and trade.

In the ninth century, after the creation of Great Moravia, Christianity was consolidated, which is also evidenced by archaeological finds of uncremated graves.

In the tenth century, the first continuous building appeared in the area of today's church, which later expanded towards the river Svratka.

In the 14th century, the former two-time queen Eliška Rejčka moved her court to Brno and built the Romanesque-Gothic parish church of St. Lawrence in Komín.

From that time, there is a rumor about a man who listened to the staff's advice that if the city was not captured by noon the following day, they would abandon the siege and withdraw.

The message managed to be conveyed to the besieged, they rang the noon bell an hour earlier in their greatest need, and thereby saved themselves.

In March 1742, the line of encirclement of Brno and Špilberk by the Prussian-Saxon troops of Frederick the Great passed through Komín.

Frederick the Great, had already managed to occupy a large part of Moravia and Bohemia, which he tried to seize at the expense of Maria Theresa.

In 1909, a new exhibition school was opened in the village, built according to the design of the academic architect Antonín Blažek from Králov Pole.

The soldiers of the Red Army, who died during the liberation struggles of this part of Brno, were buried at the honorary burial ground on Hausperk, renamed Ruský vrch.

In the 1990s, after the change in political conditions, the face of the village improved thanks to the overall reconstruction of Komín Square, and the cemetery, which was canceled during the construction of the housing estate, was restored on the initiative of a group of residents.

However, for unclear reasons, this intersection was never completed - it lacks access ramps for turning from/to Komín and Jundrov, and even the tram body was never moved to the relevant bridge span as part of the reconstruction.

The absence of ramps greatly complicates traffic inside Komín, and district officials are in vain putting pressure on the city to complete the bridge.

Inside this basin rises an indistinct ridge in the axis of Chochola (307 m), Panský kopec and the natural monument Netopýrky.
