Mérk

About the place: Mérk is a village in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county in northeastern Hungary, located near the Romanian border. It lies in the historical Nyírség region and is characterized by its quiet rural atmosphere.

Flag Description: The flag consists of a white rectangular field bordered on three sides (top, bottom, and fly end) with alternating yellow and green triangular teeth (wolf teeth). The corners at the fly end feature solid yellow squares. In the center of the flag is the full municipal coat of arms with elaborate mantling (red and silver on the left, green and gold on the right). The shield displays a golden dragon on the left (viewer's perspective) facing an armored knight on the right over a green base with wavy lines; the knight holds a sword and a red shield with the Hungarian double cross. Below the shield is a green ribbon bearing the black inscription 'MÉRK'.

Symbolism: The white field with triangular wolf-teeth edging follows traditional Hungarian vexillological design. The central coat of arms depicts a knight fighting a dragon, symbolizing Saint George and local religious heritage. The small red shield with the double cross represents Hungarian national identity, while the wavy lines at the base signify local waterways in the Nyírség region.
