![[short Vinohrady flag]](../images/c/cz-ab-vh.gif)
by Jan Kravčik, 10 July 2000
(Kralovske) Vinohrady is a city ward of Prague. The name means "Royal
Vineyards".

This page
has a big coat of arms and three flag-images.
"The Public Relations Department of Praha 3 Municipal office had informed
about approvement of symbols by Praha 3 Municipal Council. It was the coat of arms
and the last of presented flag design (green - white - red - white - red).
Designer was Dr. Milan Buben, a Heraldist. These eschutcheons were symbols
of personalities in Žižkov (Jan Žižka - a Chalice, Charles IV - Bohemian
Lion) and Královské Vinohrady (St. Wenceslas Eagle) arms. But the Representation
/ Zastupitelstvo rejected thse proposals (So much Petr Blažek, the Press
Speaker of Praha 3). So these proposals were (unfortunately) meant very
seriously.

This page
has a flag horizontally WRWR with on the second white bar three blue 5-pointed
stars.
This is a proposal, not meant seriously ("white, red and blue - colours
of the US - flag for Vinohrady citizens love of liberty, stars like in
Cuban or Iraki flag for their fighting spirit etc"). This site is probably
an unofficial site of Vinohradian patriots, because this historical quarter
(whole name Královské Vinohrady), once a town outside Prague, is now divided
between administrative units (obvody) Praha 2 and Praha 3. A resume of
last two paragraphs of article:
"Another great thing would be a design for the symbols of the municipal
borough Praha 2. This plan should probably strenghten the identity of this
merely administrave unit, made of four different parts of historical
quarters of Prague.They had their historical Arms and flags. As for flag
I made my personal proposal (a scratch:-) The flag is a derivation
of Vinohrady Flag. I have added three stars for the other quarters - so
we can use Vinohrady flags fabricated last year, adding mentioned stars."
I have to repeat: Vinohrady itself doesn't exist as a self-governed
entity. The administrative boundaries or limits of obvody from 1960 are
absolutely "ahistoric" For example a part of Hradčany behind the Prague
Castle with architecture of 1930s is still in Praha 6, the rest together
with Malá Strana, Staré město, Josefov and majority of Nové město is in
Praha 1.

On a map I found on the web one can see that Vinohrady belongs cadastrally
to Praha 10 as well, but I found no Praha 10 flag or flag-proposal on this
site...
