Presentation of Ludbreg

Ludbreg (8,400 inhabitants in 1993) was granted the Town status in 1997. There is a legend regarding Ludbreg to be the center of the world, as there are several European capitals that are situated on concentric circles around Ludbreg.

Flag of Ludbreg

The symbols of Ludbreg are prescribed by Decision Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Oćbcine Ludbreg, published in 1991 in the official gazette Službeni vjesnik, no. 63. The Decision describes the coat of arms and the flag, the procedures and occasions for using them are described, it is determined how the grant for use is to be given and so on as usual with Croatian Decisions of this kind.
Decision Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Grada Ludbrega, adopted by the Town Assembly on 22 December 1999 by the Town Assembly and published on 11 February 2000 in the County official gazette Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, No. 1, invalidates the previous Decision.
Unlike the 2001 and 2006 Town Statutes, the current Statutes Statut Grada Ludbrega, adopted on 14 July 2009 by the Town Assembly and published on 16 July 2009 in Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, No. 23, now includes the description of the symbols.

The flag is in proportions 1:2, light blue with the coat of arms, bordered yellow, in the middle.
The description of the flag in the legal texts does not mention that the coat of arms is bordered yellow. All the flags that I have seen in Ludbreg have the yellow border around the coat of arms.

Coat of arms of Ludbreg

The coat of arms of Ludbreg is "Azure, on a triple mount vert a crescent argent and a mullet or".
The Decision claims that this is the traditional coat of arms of Ludbreg. The Coffee Hag album Grbovi Jugoslavije by Emilij Laszowski [lsv39] shows almost to the detail the same coat of arms, with note that it is based on an 1850 seal.
