![[Targowek flag]](../images/p/pl-tgw.gif)
by Antonio Martins, 30 Apr 1999, after image from this
site, reported by Dov Gutterman, 4 Mar 1999
Description: The flag consists of three parallel horizontal bends of
equal breadth: white, yellow and red.
Meaning: Choosing these colours the Council of the commune considered
historical and patriotic motivations. It was decided to separate the colours
of state flag (white and red) with yellow, considered as colour of Warsaw.
White in heraldry means honesty, truth and purity. Yellow (in Warsaw it
should be gold, given to royal cities) is nobility and friendliness. Red
stands for courage and valour.
The flag was first flown on November 21st 1997. Targowek is a part
of the city of Warsaw.
