Presentation of Lenart

Lenart (11,298 inhabitants) is a town located some 20 km northeast from Maribor. In some atlases, the city is named Lenart v Slovenskih Goricah (meaning in Slovene, Highlands/Hills). I believe that this has not been used as the name for the municipality, but only as the name of its main city.

Municipal flag of Lenart

The coat of arms and flag of Lenart are prescribed by decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Lenart, adopted on 2 October 1997, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije 71/1997, on 21 November 1997, with effect on 28 November 1997.

The flag is vertical, in proportion, 1:3, green with the coat of arms in the middle, the width of the arms being 1/2 of the hoist side.
