Ccommunity from Krapina-Zagorje County - Gornja Stubica. The
coat of arms and the flag is adopted some time around 1999
presumably, since it they are already described in 2002 Statutes:
Statut Opcine Gornja Stubica, 13.03.2002. Slubeni glasnik
Krapinsko- zagorske upanije, 11/94, 4/01 i ?/02, Opcina
Gornja Stubica, <http://gornjastubica.com>
10.10.2002.
The coat of arms is silver on a green hill inflamed red a golden
crown - bull's muzzle. The flag is light blue with the coat of
arms bordered yellow in the middle. Ratio 1:2.
Ceremonial flag is shown on the web-site. It's vertically hoisted
blue banner with the coat of arms in the middle, above it in
three arcs the name of the community and below two linden
branches, all bordered golden.
The simple crown inflamed symbolize the leader of the peasant's
uprising of 1573, Matija Gubec. The uprising was the largest in
this part of Europe and included serfs from Northern Croatia and
Slovenia. Its center was in Gornja Stubica near by an impresive,
still standing linden tree. A simple iron crown as that in the
coat of arms heated to shining was used in torture when Gubec was
put to death after his capturing. The linden branch in the
ceremonial flag are similar to those used in the ceremonial flag
of the County (as well as in some other ceremonial flags in the
region) and also reffer to the great linden tree in Gornja
Stubica.
