About Ponava
What are the main landmarks in Ponava?
The veterinary university grounds carry two of them. Socha Miroslava Tyrše v areálu Veterinární university v Brně and Pomník padlým v areálu Veterinární university v Brně both stand on that campus, while Jaruškův dům and the Church of Czechoslovak Hussite Church in Brno-Královo Pole belong to the streets. Two more sit further out.
The Memorial of Pod kaštany concentration camp commemorates the camp of that name, and Pomník Jaromíra Tomečka na Kociánce v Králově Poli stands at Kociánka.
What is the history of Ponava?
Two annexations made Ponava whole. Part of the territory passed to Brno in 1850, the remainder followed in 1919, and the cadastral line that encloses both was dated 1969. One name covered both parcels.
Since November 1990 the whole of it has been reckoned part of Brno-Královo Pole, and Pomník padlým v areálu Veterinární university v Brně sits inside those bounds along with the Memorial of Pod kaštany concentration camp.
Where is Ponava?
