The municipality of Dobrova - Polhov Gradec seceded from the former
municipality of Vič-Rudnik, which was one of the municipalities
forming the town of Ljubljana until 1995.
It took the name of Dobrova - Horjul - Polhov Gradec until the formation of the
municipality of Horjul in 1998.
The name Dobrova is probably related to the old Slavic word
dob meaning "oak", as shown on the coat of
arms.

According to Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05], the symbols of Dobrova - Polhov Gradec were adopted on 24 March 1999.
The symbols were designed by Valt Jurečič of Heraldika d.o.o. and Heraldica Slovenica, who kindly provided drawings from which the images shown on this page were made.
The flag is rectangular, in proportions 2:5, vertically divided into a yellow square field at hoist and a green rectangular field at fly. In the hoist square are placed the attributes from the coat of arms, the twig and flower.
The colour specifications are given by Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05] as:
- Light yellow: Pantone 109
- Golden yellow: Pantone 1225
- Green: Pantone 355
- Blue: Pantone 300

Coat of arms of Dobrova - Polhov Gradec - Image by Željko Heimer, 6 January 2006
The coat of arms of Dobrova - Polhov Gradec is "Or bordered along flanks azure issuant from base an oak twig sable with two acorns gules slipped and cupped of the third and two
leaves vert and in chief a quatrefoil argent barbed vert and seeded
of the first".
The blue flanks are 1/15 of the width of the entire coat of arms.
Two different shades of green are used for the leaves and barbs (100% Pantone 355cv and 80% Pantone 355cv, respectively).
Valt explains that the village of Dobrova wanted to show the oak
in the municipal coat of arms, which was achieved with two leaves and
two red acorns. The other part of the municipality, Polhov Gradec, is
represented with a flower that was discovered there in the middle of
the XVIIIth century. The name of this flower is blagajev volčin or blagajana
in Slovene and Daphne blagayana in botanical Latin. For the
use on the coat of arms the representation of the flower was
simplified.
Another request from the Mayor was that the two streams of the
municipality would be represented on the coat of arms too, which was
achieved with the blue border of the shield.
