The name of the city: Győr megyei jogú város means
Győr city with County Rank The pictures made by me from the
office of Győr city. Győr is located in the territory of
Győr-Moson-Sopron County but it is not a part of the county. The
flag was adopted in 1990.

I located a site: <www.different.hu>
with two flags for the town of Győr.
Jarig Bakker, 31 July 2000
This is a memorial flag. The front
side of the flag is same as the official Győr flag. the back
side is a script: "A GYORI TUZOLTÓSÁGNAK 1870-1990
ADOMÁNYOZTA GYOR VÁROSA" means "FOR THE FIRE-BRIGADE
OF GYOR 1870-1990 PRESENTED BY THE TOWN OF GYOR"

No.6/1998 (III.1.) Resolution. The flag is 150x120 cms, the Coat
of Arms is 60 cm high. Ratio of the horizontal flag: 5:4, the vertical flag: 4:5.
Some old resolutions about the symbols of Győr are:

This flag appears at Dr. Széll Sándor: Városaink neve,
címere és lobogója (1941) as "Győr, Győr-Moson and
Pozsony Co.".

Győr didn't adopt the historical Flag but uses today the same
colors (blue-red-white) which came probably from the Coat of
Arms. The historical flag looks like banner of arms, so the
question is did Győr had another Coat of Arms in those days ?
Dov Gutterman, 23 October 2000
No. Győr Coat of Arms is the same as in the book. The book
shows the Coat of Arms too.
István Molnár, 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).

Note the differences in the background (blue v. white) type
(vertical v. horizontal) and the different Coat of Arms between
this flag and the current one.
Dov Gutterman, 9 October 1999
Győr city - "In the Coat of
Arms 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 Rába and the Rábca 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."

The flag of Győr was reported on Dirk's Flag Collection by
Dirk Schönberger that was hosted by CESI back then - it was
simple white flag in ratio 2:3, with Coat of Arms in the middle
and underneath the name of the city.
Željko Heimer, 8 January 1999
If I remember rightly, the flag I reported was seen by me in
some TV report from Győr, 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.
Željko Heimer,30 July 2000
The flag without blue and red triangles on the edges is wrong
and not official.

.Isn't it the city Coat of Arms on the flag ?
Dov Gutterman, 25 September 1999
From what I can understand, this is the flag of a school in
Győr. It is indeed the city Coat of Arms or, at least, it seems
that the city Coat of Arms is part of the school emblem. Compare
it with the flag of Győr above.
Željko Heimer, 28 September 1999
