New Štúrovo flag

I received a map with Slovakian cities flags and coats of arms from Jaume Ollé. It revealed a new flag for Štúrovo city - the same pattern as Istvan Molnar reported, but with a swallowtail, and the vertical red stripe is 1/3 of flag length.

I think this is not the official form of the flag but a standardised form.

Štúrovo 'official' flag

by István Molnár, 13 Aug 2000

Last Monday I was in the Office of the Community of Štúrovo City and I got a city flag and a picture about the coat of arms. These are the official symbols of the town from 1972 designed by the heraldist Dr. Péter Püspöki Nagy.

One peek at the map learns that there is huge station-yard near Štúrovo, which may account for the stripes on the flag.

Štúrovo 'official' Coat of Arms

sent by István Molnár, 13 Aug 2000, resized by Rich Hansen.

The coat of arms of Štúrovo/Párkány is a Gothic shield divided into two fields. The blue color symbolizes the meeting of the rivers: the Danube and the Hron/Garam. The gold (or yellow) triangle relates to the ground plan of the former fort. In the yellow field is a red cock looking right, referring to the original name of the settlement (Kakat or kakas means cock in Hungarian). The red color and the five-pointed comb refer to the five greatest calamities in the settlement (in 1529, 1532, 1543, 1595, 1683, in the time of the Turkish Wars)
