Summary
About the place: Dunaföldvár is a historical town situated on the right bank of the Danube River in Tolna County, Hungary. It is known for its medieval castle featuring a Kuruc tower and its strategic location near a major Danube bridge.
Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, blue on top and white at the bottom. In the hoist area (left side from the viewer's perspective), the town's coat of arms is placed across both stripes. The coat of arms features a blue shield framed by green branches, surmounted by a golden crown studded with jewels, and arched above by the yellow (golden) uppercase inscription 'DUNAFÖLDVÁR'. The shield depicts a white gateway flanked by two red-roofed towers with a cross between them. Standing in the open gateway is a soldier in a white uniform holding a raised saber. On the viewer's left side of the shield is a golden bunch of grapes, on the right side a golden ear of wheat, and in the base a green field with a white wavy bar.
Symbolism: Blue and white are the traditional colors of the town. The coat of arms symbolizes the history and economy of Dunaföldvár: the fortified gate with a soldier refers to the historical role of the fortress and its defensive significance along the Danube, depicted as a wavy stripe in the base. The bunch of grapes and the ear of wheat represent traditional agriculture, viticulture, and the fertility of the local region.
