Summary
About the place: Kozármisleny is a town in Baranya County, Hungary, located just southeast of Pécs. Formed in 1928 by the merger of the historic villages of Kiskozár and Mislény, it serves as a growing suburban municipality with active community life.
Flag Description: The flag is white with a Scandinavian blue cross whose intersection is offset toward the hoist. At the intersection of the cross arms rests the full coat of arms of Kozármisleny. The arms consist of a tripartite shield topped with a helmet, crown, and elaborate mantling in red-yellow and blue-silver. The first blue field depicts Saint Nicholas with a halo and a book, the second blue field shows a silver castle with red roofs on green ground, and the lower black field features a golden oval containing a mounted archer.
Symbolism: The blue Scandinavian cross on a white field symbolizes the Christian tradition of the town. The coat of arms combines historic symbols of the merged villages: Saint Nicholas represents spiritual heritage, the castle refers to regional architectural history, and the mounted archer in the lower oval highlights ancient settlement history and traditional Hungarian heritage.
