Overview

The name of the city: Győr megyei jogú város means Győr city with County Rank The pictures made by me from the office of Győr city. Győr is located in the territory of Győr-Moson-Sopron County but it is not a part of the county. The flag was adopted in 1990.

I located a site: <www.different.hu> with two flags for the town of Győr.
Jarig Bakker, 31 July 2000

This is a memorial flag. The front side of the flag is same as the official Győr flag. the back side is a script: "A GYORI TUZOLTÓSÁGNAK 1870-1990 ADOMÁNYOZTA GYOR VÁROSA" means "FOR THE FIRE-BRIGADE OF GYOR 1870-1990 PRESENTED BY THE TOWN OF GYOR"

Above are the correct versions of the flag based on the No.6/1998 (III.1.) Resolution. The flag is 150x120 cms, the Coat of Arms is 60 cm high. Ratio of the horizontal flag: 5:4, the vertical flag: 4:5.
Some old resolutions about the symbols of Győr are:
No.2/1974 (TK.2/1974)  'communist-era (1974 - 1989 flag).
No.1/1990 (III.15.)
No.9/1990 (VIII.15.)

Historical Flag


by António Martins, 28 Febuary 2001

This flag appears at Dr. Széll Sándor: Városaink neve, címere és lobogója (1941) as "Győr, Győr-Moson and Pozsony Co.".

Győr didn't adopt the historical Flag but uses today the same colors (blue-red-white) which came probably from the Coat of Arms. The historical flag looks like banner of arms, so the question is did Győr had another Coat of Arms in those days ?
Dov Gutterman, 23 October 2000

No. Győr Coat of Arms is the same as in the book. The book shows the Coat of Arms too.
István Molnár, 23 October 2000

Vertical diband: the hoist half blue with a white cross throughout (width = 1/7th of the hoist); the fly half seven red and white horizontal stripes (the middle of which coincides with the horizontal arm
