Source-derived summary

Soběšice (German: Obeschitz) is a municipal part and cadastral territory on the northern edge of the city of Brno, Czech Republic. It has an area of 6.06 km2. Originally an independent municipality, it was annexed into Brno in 1971, and since November 24, 1990 it is a part of the city district of Brno-sever. About 2,500 people live here.

History

The first written mention of Soběšice dates from 1286. In 1900, 733 people lived here. Soběšice was annexed to Brno on November 26, 1971, and incorporated into the Brno III municipal district. Of the 352 local citizens present, 352 voted for joining Brno and only 19 were against. After the annexation, street names in Soběšice whose names were identical to the names of streets in the rest of the city were renamed. Soběšice remained within the Brno III district until 1990, when the current city district of Brno-sever was established.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as neighborhood of Brno-sever. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12055198. Authority coordinates are 49.254, 16.622. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1971, 1990, 1286 and 1900.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
