Summary
About the place: Chodouny is a municipality in the Litoměřice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the fertile Elbe Lowland on the right bank of the Elbe River near Roudnice nad Labem. Comprising the villages of Chodouny and Lounky, it possesses an intensely agricultural character.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three vertical stripes: yellow, blue, and yellow in a width ratio of 1:4:1. In the wider central blue stripe are five yellow ears of grain, surmounted at the base by a yellow crescent pointing upwards (horns up). The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2:3.
Symbolism: The five golden ears of grain represent traditional agriculture, fertility, and the bountiful soil of the Elbe lowlands. The golden crescent pointing upwards is derived from the historical village seal, symbolizing growth, hope, and economic prosperity. The blue field represents the nearby Elbe River, while the yellow colour evokes ripe grain fields, sunshine, and prosperity.
