Summary
About the place: Doubravice nad Svitavou is a market town in the Blansko District of the South Moravian Region, situated in the Boskovice Furrow along the Svitava River. It is characterized by its historical heritage linked to a former medieval castle and a combined agricultural and light-industrial setting.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three vertical stripes of red, yellow, and red in a width ratio of 5 : 7 : 5. In the central yellow stripe is an eradicated green deciduous tree with a brown trunk. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 2 : 3.
Symbolism: The eradicated tree (an oak) serves as a canting symbol referencing the town's name, which derives from 'doubrava' (an oak grove or forest), as well as reflecting the surrounding forested landscape. The red and yellow (gold) colors are derived from the tinctures of the historical municipal coat of arms and former local nobility.
