by Ivan Sache, 27 Apr. 2000
from the Partizánske
website: "This flag is also quite new and made by a teacher of history
who is interested in flags and arms. The colours are connected with the
emblem and each one has its own meaning."

Comment from the Partizánske
website: This one is an older town emblem which you can also see a
symbol of shoe industry expressed by a boot on. The fire behind a hill
is a sign of the SNP (Slovak National Revolt) because Partizánske was one
of the revolt centres. The Slovak National Revolt took place in 1848; on
the 9 February, 1949 the city of Bat'ovany was renamed Partizánske."

It may be of some interest to note that this fire is the one shown in
the former Czechoslovakian coat of arms as escutcheon, symbolizing in it
the Slovakian part of the joint state.

from the Partizánske
website: "This is the newest town coat-of-arms. It shows that the town
was important centre of the shoe industry although there were many generous
fields around."
