Letenye

About the place: Letenye is a border town in southwestern Hungary, located in Zala County near the Croatian border. It serves as an important road border crossing and historical administrative center of the microregion.

Flag Description: The flag is a vertical white field with the black capital inscription 'LETENYE' centered in the upper half. Below the text is the intricate town coat of arms. The shield features a blue field with green triple mounts in the base, depicting a figure with a sword emerging from a crown accompanied by a crescent moon on the left side (heraldic dexter), and a silver wolf accompanied by a six-pointed star on the right side (heraldic sinister). The top part of the shield features a golden chevron charged with a black double-headed eagle. In the center is an inescutcheon with diagonal red and silver stripes bearing a black gate, and the lower field displays a red zigzag bar.

Symbolism: The flag combines the town's name with its historic coat of arms. The individual elements in the crest refer to prominent noble families connected to the history of Letenye (such as the Széchy and Zrínyi families), the Ottoman wars (figure with a sword and crescent moon), and Imperial symbolism (the double-headed eagle).
