Summary
About the place: Kovářská is a market town in the Chomutov District of the Ústí nad Labem Region, situated in the Ore Mountains near the border with Germany.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a yellow canton in the upper hoist corner, a green field of equal size beneath it in the lower hoist corner, and two horizontal stripes, green over yellow, in the fly portion. The yellow canton features a black ashlar wall with white masonry joints and battlements, bearing a small yellow escutcheon in the centre charged with crossed black mining hammers. Rising from the wall is a green hill bearing a black blast furnace with a white hearth emitting grey smoke, flanked by two green coniferous trees with brown trunks.
Symbolism: The combination of yellow and green references the mountainous nature of the Ore Mountains. The blast furnace, stone wall, and crossed mining hammers symbolize the rich history of iron mining, smelting, and metallurgy in the town.
