Overview
The name of the city: Gyor Megyei Jogu' Va'ros means Gyor City
with County Rank The pictures made by me from the Office of Gyor
City. Gyor City is located in the territory of Gyor-Moson-Sopron
County but it is not a part of the county. The flag was adopted
in 1990.
Istvan Molnar, 27 July 2000
I located a site: http://www.different.hu/gyortuo/zaszlo.html
with two flags for the town of Gyor
Jarig Bakker, 31 July 2000
This is a memorial flag. The front
side of the flag is same as the official Gyor flag. the back
side is a script: "A GYORI TUZOLT�S�GNAK 1870-1990
ADOM�NYOZTA GYOR V�ROSA" means "FOR THE FIRE-BRIGADE
OF GYOR 1870-1990 PRESENTED BY THE TOWN OF GYOR"
Istvan Molnar, 1 August 2000
Above are the correct versions of the flag based on the
No.6/1998 (III.1.) Resolution. The flag is 150x120 cm's, the CoA
is 60 cm high. Ratio of the horizontal flag: 5:4, the vertical
flag: 4:5
Some old resolutions about the symbols of Gy�r are:
No.2/1974 (TK.2/1974)� 'communist-era (1974 -
1989) flag'
No.1/1990 (III.15.)
No.9/1990 (VIII.15.)
No 53//1990 (VII.6.)

Historical Flag
by Antonio Martins, 28 Febuary 2001
This flag appears at Dr. Sz�ll S�ndor: V�rosaink neve,
c�mere �s lobog�ja (1941) as "Gy�r, Gy�r-Moson and
Pozsony Co.".
Istv�n Moln�r, 20 October 2000
Gyor didn't adopt the Historical Flag but uses today the same
colors (blue-red-white) which came probably from the CoA. The
historical flag looks like banner of arms, so the question is did
gyor had another CoA in those days ?
Dov Gutterman, 23 October 2000
No. Gyor CoA is the same as in the book. The book shows the
CoA's too.
Istv�n Moln�r, 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 of the hoist side cross).

1974 - 1989 Flag
by Istv�n Moln�r
Note the differences in the background (blue v. white) type
(vertical v. horizontal) and the different CoA between this flag
and the current one.
Dov Gutterman, 9 October 1999
Gy�r city - "In the CoA of the
city on the right side of the divided fields there is the old
castle relates to the historical past, the three white stripes
relate to the Danube, the R�ba and the R�bca Rivers. On the
left side there are a cog-wheel and a hammer relate to the
industry of the city, the pen relates to the cultural
traditions."

Hungarian cities and towns); 1975

Reported Flag
by Zeljko Heimer, 8 January 1999.
CoA is taken from http://www.gyor-ph.hu
, located by Dov Gutterman
The flag of Gyor was reported on Dirk's Flag Collection by
Dirk Schonberger that was hosted by CESI back then - it was
simple white flag in ratio 2:3, with CoA in the middle and
underneath the name of the city.
Zeljko Heimer, 8 January 1999
If I remember rightly, the flag I reported was seen by me in
some TV report from Gyor, several years ago. It may be that the
flag with the coloured edges was not officialized back then, or
that it was the "less ceremonial" flag that was hoisted
- or that I simply failed to notice the borders on the quick
glance on the TV.
In any case, the edged flag looks much better, and is much more
in tradition of the Hungarian flags.
Zeljko Heimer,30 July 2000
The flag without blue and red triangles on the edges is wrong
and not official.

School Flag
I located an photo of flag
in http://www.barossg-gyor.sulinet.hu/palya/zaszlo.htm
.Isn't it the city CoA on the flag ?
Dov Gutterman, 25 September 1999
From what I can understand, this is the flag of a school in
Gyor. It is indeed the city CoA or, at least, it seems that the
city CoA is part of the school emblem. Compare it with the flag
of Gyor above.
