History: Originally the monarchīs village was ceded to Saint Peterīs
Church in Brno by King Wenceslas I in 1237. Since 1259 it was administered
by the Cistercian Convent in Tišnov. After cancellation of the convent
in 1872 it was under the state administration, after that it became a property
of the Lords of Munda and consequently became a part of Veveří dominion.
In 1971 it became a part of Brno City, since 1990 it has been a municipal
district.

The coat of arms of the district draws on a preserved print of the original
seal. On a blue Gothic shield a bare foot can be seen which allegedly gave
rise to the districtīs name and two grapes of vine, which used to be
grown on the slopes surrounding the district since time immemorial. The
graphic image of the coat of arms was designed by the architect Jan Rajlich
and the symbol was officially approved in 1991.
