Summary
About the place: Lovosice is an industrial town in the Litoměřice District within the Ústí nad Labem Region, situated on the left bank of the Elbe River at the foot of the Bohemian Central Mountains. It is an important transport hub with a rich history tied to river shipping, railways, and the chemical industry.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a vertical blue hoist stripe five-twelfths of the length of the flag wide and two horizontal stripes in the fly, yellow over blue. The hoist stripe is divided horizontally into two halves: from the lower half, which features a yellow interlaced lattice pattern, emerges a yellow lion with a red tongue and white teeth in the upper blue half, facing the hoist.
Symbolism: The motif on the flag is derived from the historic coat of arms of Lovosice. The yellow lion and the latticed lower section reference noble families and heraldic symbols connected to the historical development, fortifications, and municipal rights of the town.
