Summary

About the place: Dambořice is a South Moravian wine-growing municipality in the Hodonín District of the Czech Republic, set in the undulating landscape of the Ždánice Forest and well known for its oil and natural gas extraction.

Flag Description: Quartered flag. The upper hoist and lower fly quarters are white. The lower hoist and upper fly quarters are composed of five horizontal stripes alternating black and white. The width-to-length ratio of the sheet is 2:3.

Symbolism: The flag's design is derived directly from the historic municipal coat of arms granted to Dambořice in 1534 by King Ferdinand I. The alternating black and white stripes and color scheme reference the ancestral arms of the Lords of Kunštát (páni z Kunštátu), former feudal lords of the settlement.
