Summary

About the place: Jílové u Držkova is a picturesque village in the Jablonec nad Nisou District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the hilly landscape of the Jizera Foothills near Železný Brod.

Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes in a 3 : 2 width ratio: the upper stripe white and the lower stripe divided diagonally per bend into white and red. Issuing from the middle three-fifths of the upper edge of the lower stripe is a green triple mount supporting a green linden tree with a brown trunk. In the white hoistward portion of the lower stripe are three red horizontal stripes (bars), while in the red flyward portion are two crossed white ragged staves (fire-stems/raguly batons), each with four cut branches. The flag width-to-length ratio is 2 : 3.

Symbolism: The green triple mount represents the undulating landscape of the Jizera Foothills, while the linden tree represents a notable protected local large-leaved linden tree. The lower elements featuring three red bars and crossed ragged staves are derived from the family arms of the Knights of Ehrenburg, who held the local Navarov (Návarov) estate from the 17th to the 19th century.
