Presentation of Donja Stubica

The Town of Donja Stubica (5,930 inhabitants in 2001, 2,524 in the town of Donja Stubica) is located due north of Zagreb, but inbetween is the Zagreb Mountain (1,033 m), so it takes at least a good half an hour drive or more from here to there anyway you go.
Donja Stubica was first given the Municipality Status, which was upgraded to the Town Status in 1997.

Flag of Donja Stubica

The symbols of Donja Stubica are prescribed by Statutory Decision Statutarna odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Donja Stubica, adopted on 22 September 2000 by the Town Assembly and published on 26 January 2001 in the County official gazette Službeni glasnik Krapinsko-zagorske županije, No. 1A.
The current Town Statutes mention the existence of the symbols, but do not describe them.

The flag is blue with the coat of arms, bordered yellow, in the middle.

The coat of arms of Donja Stubica is "Per bend serrated argent and vert".

The ceremonial flag (photo) is also described in the aformentioned Decision, which is not the case in many such Decisions. However, the description is rather general, stating that it is a dark blue gonfalon sized 80 x 160 cm, made of "high shine atlas" silk with the coat of arms in the middle and golden inscription "Grad Donja Stubica" above. The flag is edged with a golden ribbon and with tails at the bottom and is accompanied with carrying equipement, ornamented staff and a postament. There is no mention of the branches ornamenting the coat of arms and the inscription "1209", though

Symbols of Stubica (1970s-1990s)

Flag and arms of Stubica - Images by Željko Heimer, 3 October 2015

The flag used in the municipality, then called simply Stubica, from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s, was light blue with the golden coat of arms in the centre.

The coat of arms might have had a coloured version, but it was used mostly monocoloured. It depicts in a stylized shield shape a city on a hill with three roofed towers, a flag hoisted from the central one, and in the base, on each side of the path leading towards it, a flail and a scythe. Over the shield a ribbon inscribed "Stubica" between two five-pointed stars. The weapons and tools symbolise the peasant revolt of 1573.
The coat of arms is still used, with the five-pointed stars removed, in the emblem of the local cultural-artistic society KUD "Stubica", established in 1976 - with the arms superimposed on a lyre.
