Long Description:
[CS]
Kamenná kolonie, známá v Brne jako Kamenka je asi 130 malých domku nalepených jeden na druhém a tvorících uzavrenou osadu v bývalém šterkovém kamenolomu na severozápadním úbocí Cerveného kopce, na pravém brehu reky Svratky mezi Starým Brnem a Pisárkami. Tahle nouzová delnická kolonie je jednou z mála tech, které se v Brne i pres své ruzné prestavby a dostavby zachovaly z období svého vzniku za první republiky. Tak trochu se zde zastavil cas. V úzkých kamenitých ulickách sotva zaparkují auta, chybí zde moderní vily s bazény. Domky z podradných materiálu zde staveli chudí delníci již od roku 1926, ale v 70.-90. letech je vystrídali umelci a bohémové, protože v té dobe se vetšina puvodních delnických rodin odstehovala do nove vznikajících panelových sídlišt.

Stone Colony, known as Kamenka in Brno is about 130 small houses stuck on each other and forming a closed colony at the former gravel quarry on the northwest flank of Red Hill, on the right bank of the river between the Old Brno Svratka and typist. This emergency workers' colony is one of the few of those in Brno despite its various reconstruction and completion of the period preserved its inception during the First Republic. So little time has stopped here. In the narrow stone streets just park the car lacks a modern villas with pools. Homes from inferior materials, poor laborers built here since 1926, but in the 70th to 90th years has been replaced by artists and bohemians, because at that time, most of the original working-class families moved into new housing estates.
