Podturen is a community in the Medimurje County with some
4,500 inhabitants, about 1,700 in the town of the same name, its
center. It is some 15 km north-east of Cakovec,
approximately at the point where borders of three states (HR, SI,
HU) meet.
The symbols were adopted on 18 December 2004 (It was actually
adopted a document named "Zakljucak o odabiru likovnog
rješenja zastave i grba Opcine Podturen" = Conclusion
on selection of the design of the flag and the coat of arms of
the Community of Podturen) by the Community Assembly, after a
public concourse issed among other flaces at : <forum.opcina-podturen.h>.

The design had yet to be confirmed by the Ministry of
Administration. The "hot news" near the article
mentioned above (unfortunately undated) explains that the design
was declined by the Ministry since the change of mill wheels is
already present on "600 coats of arms of the local
selfgoverment units". (Well, I don't know which 600 they
counted, obviously not only in Croatia, but whever...), so, we
should expect an other design herefrom, soon...
The coat of arms of Podturen is: vert a mill wheel or and in the
base wavy azure two barrulets wavy argent.
The flag is blue with the yellow bordered coat of arms in the
middle.
The author of the design is Danijel Hampamer. The second awarded
design was made by Miljenko Hajdarovic and it is much more
"heraldic": gules a heron rising sable. Have a look at
the ceremonial flag at his site at <www.webdomene.info>.
