History
From a historical point of view, most of the territory of the modern district of Brno-Jundrov belonged to the cadastre of the former municipality of Jundrova, a small part of the cadastre of Jundrov belonged to the cadastre of the former municipality of Komín. A small part of the territory of the modern city district in the current cadastre of Pisárky (parcels 1495, 1492/1, 1510/21, 1493, 1494/2, 1494/3, southern part of parcel 1494/1, eastern part of parcels 1510/16 and 1492/2), originally belonging to Jundrov, however, was annexed to Brno in 1892 and incorporated into Old Brno.

The first mention of Jundrov, which was originally a feudal village, dates from September 4, 1277, when it was named Sulostovice by Přemysl Otakar II. donated the chapel of St. John the Baptist in Špilberk. By a document dated March 23, 1300, Wenceslaus II. donated to the order of the Teutonic Knights in Chelm under the name Judendorf, from which the present name was later corrupted. Under Margrave Jošta, it became the property of the Herbur monastery in Brno. After its abolition in 1578, it was taken over by the Brno Jesuits, and from 1773 the study fund. As part of the Rechkovice estate, Jundrov was owned by Josef Schindler from 1826. In the years 1850–67, Jundrov was connected with Žabovřesky, it became part of Brno on April 16, 1919.

During the radical communist cadastral reform of Brno carried out in the second half of the 1960s, the northern, southern and eastern borders of the Jundro cadastre were adjusted, during which the lands east of Svratka were joined to Žabovřesky, in the north the Jundro cadastre was extended by a part of the forest, originally belonging to Komín, while the land in the south, together with the western part of the Old Brno cadastre, was in turn incorporated into the newly created cadastral area of ​​Pisárky.

The Brno-Jundrov district was established on November 24, 1990, and originally consisted of the entire cadastral territory of Jundrov, which also includes ZSJ Mladá Hora, which consists of gardens and cottages. As of September 1, 1995, the agreement on changing the border with the neighboring Brno-Kohoutovice district of August 25, 1995 became effective. On the basis of this agreement, a territorial exchange took place between the two districts. The municipality of Brno-Kohoutovice acquired a small southern part of the cadastral territory of Jundrov (ZSJ Mladá Hora) in exchange for part of the Pisárky cadastre (houses and land on the west side of Veslařská Street). The current borders were acquired by the city district on October 1, 1995, when the border change agreement with the neighboring Brno-střed city district of September 29, 1995 became effective. Based on this agreement, the Brno-Jundrov administrative district acquired the territory between Veslařská Street and the river Svratka, bounded in the south by the road leading from Kohoutovice to the Pisárky bridge.

Since 1991, the Brno-Jundrov district has had a coat of arms and a flag created by a commission led by the deputy mayor Zdeněk Koudelka. The coat of arms is based on a seal sign from 1646 – on a blue shield there are two silver grapes surrounding a silver winemaker's knife with the point turned heraldically to the right. The flag, similar to that of Brno, consists of 3 alternating blue-white stripes and an upper white half-stripe.
