## History

The area of today's Komárov was annexed to Brno in two phases: on July 6, 1850, the territory originally belonging to Trnitá; and on April 16, 1919, on the basis of Act No. 213/1919 Coll., "on the merger of neighboring municipalities with Brno", the municipality of Komárov (including the former municipalities of Malá Mariacela and Petrohradská ulice) followed suit, as well as other parts of the modern cadastral territory.

## Description

Komárov has an urban character, and as a district it was marked both by the development of industry and, in communist times, by the insensitive construction of a panel housing estate and roads on its territory. Nevertheless, even here you can find quality family housing surrounded by greenery. In recent years, a number of new shops have sprung up along Hněvkovského street, south of the railway line passing through Komárov.
