Summary
About the place: Habartov is a town in the Sokolov District of the Karlovy Vary Region, situated at the foothills of the Ore Mountains within the Sokolov Basin. Its modern history and character were fundamentally shaped by lignite (brown coal) mining and subsequent landscape reclamation.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a black hoist stripe taking up one third of the flag length and a green fly field. Over the hoist and central area is a yellow mining lamp flanked by two yellow linden twigs, each bearing three leaves and three fruits. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The black colour and the mining lamp directly represent the town's history of coal mining, which spurred its urban development. The green field represents the surrounding nature, forests, and ongoing post-mining landscape reclamation, while the yellow linden sprigs symbolize the Czech national tree, renewal, and vitality.
