Summary

About the place: Nagydém is a village located in Veszprém County in western Hungary, within the Pápa District. It is situated in the gently rolling landscape of the Bakonyalja region.

Flag Description: A vertically oriented flag consisting of three vertical stripes: green, white, and green, with the central white stripe being wider. The village coat of arms is placed in the upper half of the central white stripe. The shield is divided by a silver wavy bar. The upper red section features a gold patriarchal cross on the left from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter), a gold cogwheel rising from the wavy bar, and a rose with a small red heart and cross on the right (heraldic sinister). The lower green section contains a silver circular seal. Above the shield, a green wreath bound with a ribbon in Hungarian national colors surrounds a silver saber. Below the shield is a red banner with gold edging displaying the name 'NAGYDÉM' in gold letters.

Symbolism: The colors of the flag and the ribbon mirror the Hungarian national palette. The coat of arms combines religious symbols (the patriarchal cross and a rose with a cross), local geography and history (the wavy bar representing the local stream), milling heritage (the cogwheel), and historic municipal identity via the village's historic seal in the lower field. The saber and wreath above the shield represent military and patriotic history.
