[Stúrovo new flag] by Jarig Bakker, 28 Jan 2002 See also:

New Štúrovo flag

I received a map with Slovakian cities flags and CoAs from Jaume Ollé. It revealed a new flag for Sturovo city - the same pattern as Istvan Molnar reported, but with a swallowtail, and the vertical red stripe is 1/3 of flaglength.

I think this is not the official form of the flag but a standardised form.

Štúrovo 'official' flag

Sturovo 'official' flag by István Molnár, 13 Aug 2000

Last Monday I was in the Office of the Community of Štúrovo City and I got a city flag and a picture about the Coat Arms. These are the official symbols of the town from 1972 designed by the heraldist Dr. Péter Püspöki Nagy.

One peek at the map learns that there is huge station-yard near Sturovo, which may account for the stripes on the flag.
