Moravia's second city, German-speaking until 1945 and Czech avant-garde thereafter, carrying both the Vienna-adjacent scientific bourgeoisie and the state-socialist sports factory. The outsized Gymnast and Skater benches plus a thick Hockey count are classic ČSSR athletic institutions, while the disproportionate Conductor and Composer numbers reflect the Janáček circle and the interwar Brno avant-garde that briefly made this a European modernist hub.
