The Coat of Arms is per bend serrated
argent and vert. It is canting as the name of the place is
derived from the word meaning a step or stair.
The flag is blue with yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle.
The Ceremonial Flag is blue gonfalon with
triangular fly with fringe, bearing two vine branches below the
coat of arms, the name of the city above and the year 1209 being
the year of the first mention of the city name in the historical
files.

Donja Stubica is a city in the Krapina Zagorje County,
somewhat less then 6,000 inhabitants, about half of them living
in the city itself, due north of Zagreb (but between is the
Zagreb Mountain, 1033 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 status of a community, but was
"upgraded" to city in 1997.
The coat of arms adopted in early 1990's and occasionally used
was a bit more ornamented then the one today (note the curls atop
the shield), also having the "dowstairs" (i.e. per bend
dancety) but in green and blue finbriated golden, and having
overall a golden representation of the local church. The design
was probably simplified (for the better!) on the insistence of
the Ministry of Administration. It is most probably that the flag
was adopted only with the new design, at least I found no reports
on the flag with the old one.
