Here is factual info on the flag of the XI. district of
Budapest. I stayed in a hotel in this district and there was a
festival organized in a park. Four flags were hoisted on the
entrance of the park the evening I joined the festival, and I
planned to picture them the next morning. Unfortunately, they had
been promptly removed. Fortunately, I was given the leaflet
promoting the festival. I did not understand a word of it, but
was attracted by the portrait of a smiling lady (Mrs. Dr. Juhos
Katalin, polgarmester [mayor?]) with the flag behind her. The
flag has a white field with a complete border of triangular
teeth, apparently alternating red-green-blue-yellow, and a coat
of arms in the middle. Below the shield is a scroll with BUDAPEST
FOVAROS XI. KERULET. In the coat of arms is the same kind of
castle as in the Budapest flag, but with three towers and one
gate.

Photo of the flag of the district at <www.bp-xi.hu>. It
seems the colours of the wolfteeth are gold-green-blue. Yellow is
not really correct. I don't know which is the first colour. I
don't know the ratio of the flag. It seems the wolfteeth are
equilateral triangles not only isosceles triangles.

Concerning Ralf
Hartemink site - The correct name of the district is Budapest
XI. The district has got some parts of the formerly Buda city
(before 1873) and a Albertfalva village (bef ore 1950).
Lágymányos is small territory on the bank of the Danube. The
common name is the district is Kelenföld. The picture of the coat of arms
is beautiful, but white is silver or grey.
