Presentation of Dubrava

The municipality of Dubrava (5,478 inhabitants in 2001, 1,275 in the village of Dubrava) is located southeast of Vrbovec, some 50 km east of Zagreb (not to be confused with the former Community of Dubrava of the same name, which was part of the Town of Zagreb).
Dubrava, mentioned already in 1094 in a charter issued by King Ladislaus I, had in the Middle Ages a fortification with nine towers, placed under the jurisdiction of the bishops of Zagreb.
The Parliament of Croatia met there in 1527, electing John Zápolya as the Croatian king, opposed to the Cetingrad Assembly of 1526/27 electing Ferdinand Habsburg as the king, and resulting in a long civil war until Zápolya's death in 1540, when the Habsburs prevailed.

The coat of arms is described in Article 6 of the Statutes, as follows:

The coat of arms of the municipality of Dubrava is the historical coat of arms, which in a shield includes the figure of a deer on grass jumping to the right, on a sky blue background.

The design is based on a seal dated 1636. The modern version is similar, but not completely identical to the colored version shown by Lašovski [lsv39].
