Summary
About the place: Dunavecse is a town in Bács-Kiskun county, southern Hungary, situated on the left bank of the Danube River. It lies in the Great Hungarian Plain near the Pentele Bridge.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three horizontal stripes (yellow, blue, and yellow) separated by narrow white fimbriations. Near the hoist edge, a white chevron-like element issuing from the corners separates green triangular hoist corners from the yellow fields. In the center of the flag is the town's coat of arms. The coat of arms features a shield divided per fess blue and silver; the upper blue field displays a smiling crescent moon, a radiant sun, and two bunches of grapes, while the lower silver field shows a sheaf of wheat flanked by two six-pointed stars. Above the shield is a helmet with an armored arm brandishing a sabre and green mantling, and below is a ribbon in the Hungarian national colors.
Symbolism: The symbolism in the town's coat of arms reflects the agricultural tradition and history of the community. The sheaf of wheat and bunches of grapes represent the fertility of the region and local farming. The sun and crescent moon are traditional motifs representing the cycle of time and hope, while the armored arm with a sabre recalls historical defense and military heritage.
