Summary
[edit]DescriptionFlag of Töreboda.svg |
Svenska: Vapenflagga för kommunen Töreboda i Västra Götalands län, Sverige. Enligt rådande heraldiska normer och traditioner är den så kallade vapenflaggan den riktiga flaggan för svenska kommuner. En vapenflagga är i stort sett ett heraldiskt vapen omgjort till flagga. Den skall inte visa den yttre sköldform som vapnet har i sin vanliga form, men uppvisar annars samma motiv, med innehållet anpassat således att det väl fyller ut flaggdukens yta. Eventuella tillbehör runt skölden, såsom kronor, hjälmar eller sköldhållare utelämnas.
Vapenflaggan står i kontrast till inkorrekta flaggtyper, exempelvis sådana som visar en vapensköld uppå en enfärgad duk, eller logotypflaggor. Dylika flaggor är olämpliga ur bl.a. heraldiska, grafiska, vexillologiska och traditionsvårdsmässiga hänseenden – trots detta finns det ändå kommuner som nyttjar någon inkorrekt flaggtyp i stället för den korrekta vapenflaggan. I Sverige representerar ett kommunvapen och motsvarande flagga inte bara kommunen som myndighet, utan även som geografiskt område. Den heraldiskt korrekta kommunflaggan får, så länge det görs på rätt sätt, användas av allmänheten för att uttrycka kommuntillhörighet, och användaren behöver inte be om lov. Den stiliserade bilden i Törebodas vapen representerar Göta kanal som korsas av Västra stambanan i ett bördigt jordbrukslandskap av gyllene sädesfält. Tack vare att denna järnvägslinje mellan Stockholm och Göteborg fick en station vid Töreboda utvecklades orten från relativ obetydlighet till att 1909 uppnå status som köping. Samma år upptogs ett lokalt vapenförslag. När Riksarkivet senare anförtroddes den heraldiska kompositionen utgicks detta förslag ifrån, och den 9 maj 1958 fastställde Kunglig Majestät för Töreboda köping ett vapen med blasoneringen "I fält av guld en blå stolpe, överlagd med ett par bjälkvis ställda svarta tvillingsträngar.". Efter 1970‐talets kommunreform och nya regelverk gällande kommunala vapen registrerades vapnet för Töreboda kommun hos Patent‐ och registreringsverket den 11 januari 1974 med samma blasonering.English: The banner of arms of the municipality of Töreboda in Västra Götaland (Western Gothland) County, Sweden. According to currently valid heraldic norms and traditions, the proper flag of a Swedish municipality is the so called banner of arms. A banner of arms is essentially a coat of arms in flag form. It must not show the outer shield shape that arms are usually shown with, but it otherwise features the same design, adapted so that the contents satisfyingly fill up the available area. Any contingent accessories around the shield, such as crowns, helmets, or supporters, are left out.
The banner of arms stands in contrast to certain incorrect types of flags, such as ones bearing logotypes, or ones displaying the coat of arms as an escutcheon upon a unicoloured background. Such flags are inappropriate from various standpoints, including but not limited to heraldic, graphical, vexillological, and traditionalistic ones. Despite this, some municipalities utilize incorrect flags instead of the correct banner of arms. In Sweden, municipal arms and their corresponding flags represent not only municipal authority, but also municipalities as geographies. The heraldically correct flag of a municipality may be used by the general public to express municipal identity, as long as proper procedures and customs are followed. The person flying the flag does not need acquire permission. The stylized image in the arms of Töreboda represents the Göta Canal, intersected by the Western Main Line, in a fertile agricultural landscape of golden grainfields. Thanks to this railway line between Stockholm and Gothenburg receiving a station in Töreboda, the locality developed from relative insignificance to achieving market town status in 1909. In the same year, a local proposal for arms was taken up. When the National Archives later were entrusted with the armorial composition, this proposal formed its basis, and on the 9th of May 1958, the market town of Töreboda had its arms confirmed by the King in Council, with the following blazon: "In a field of gold a blue pale, overlaid with a black bar gemel." After the municipal reforms of the 1970s and changes to regulations regarding civic heraldry made during the same period, the arms were registered for Töreboda Municipality with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office on the 11th of January 1974, with the same blazon. |
