The modern coat of arms of Krapina is based on a seal from XII
century, picturing the same fortified city in circular shape with
name of the city around it. The current colours are determined
finally during XIX century. The flag is red with the coat of arms
in the middle.
As some point in early 1990's it was reported that Krapina uses
flag of brown field with the coat of arms of somewhat different
artistic redention all in golden-yellow lined with black. Status
of that flag unknown and unconfirmed. Possibly it was used to
differentiate from very similar flag (unofficially) used by the
County at the same time.

I just received a photo in local magazine Zagorski list,
br.34, 09.06.2004. shows the three flags on display in the
Krapina-Zagorje County Assembly Hall - the middle one is the flag
of Croatia, to its right (viewer's left) is the Ceremonial
Flag of the county and on the other side is the ceremonial
flag of the city of Krapina. I believe that such display of two
ceremonial flags together is rather unusual, probably the two
share the same assembly hall.
According to the same photo and also on the flag reported by
Tomislav Šipek from several media, the ceremonial flag of
the city of Krapina is a red gonfalon with three unequally long
triangularly ending tails with golden tassels and with the coat
of arms in the middle an dthe name of the city above.
It may be interesting to note that the two flags side by side on
the photo clearly show different rectangular sleaves in the upper
edge. I do not find any specialy meaning in that, but just an
observation.
