Summary
About the place: Chotiměř is a picturesque village and municipality in the Litoměřice District, Ústí nad Labem Region, situated at the foot of the České Středohoří (Bohemian Central Uplands) near the scenic Opárno Valley. The village is characterized by its tranquil rural setting and a rich heritage dating back to the 13th century.
Flag Description: The flag of Chotiměř has an aspect ratio of 2:3. The sheet features a hoist-side square blue canton positioned above another square field, with two horizontal stripes—white over red—in the fly. The blue canton bears a white-and-red chequered eagle wing. The lower square field is per pale indented (saw-toothed) with three teeth of red and white.
Symbolism: The flag design is derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2003. The chequered eagle wing, the indented partition, and the colors blue, white, and red reflect the armorial bearings of former local noble lords and symbolize the two medieval strongholds/fortresses that historically existed in Chotiměř.
