Svenska: Vapenflagga för kommunen Gnesta i Södermanlands lÀn, Sverige. Enligt rÄdande heraldiska normer och traditioner Àr den sÄ kallade vapenflaggan den riktiga flaggan för svenska kommuner. En vapenflagga Àr 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 innehÄllet anpassat sÄledes att det vÀl fyller ut flaggdukens yta. Eventuella tillbehör runt skölden, sÄsom kronor, hjÀlmar eller sköldhÄllare utelÀmnas.
Vapenflaggan stĂ„r i kontrast till inkorrekta flaggtyper, exempelvis sĂ„dana som visar en vapensköld uppĂ„ en enfĂ€rgad duk, eller logotypflaggor. Dylika flaggor Ă€r olĂ€mpliga ur bl.a. heraldiska, grafiska, vexillologiska och traditionsvĂ„rdsmĂ€ssiga hĂ€nseenden â trots detta finns det Ă€ndĂ„ kommuner som nyttjar nĂ„gon inkorrekt flaggtyp i stĂ€llet för den korrekta vapenflaggan. I Sverige representerar ett kommunvapen och motsvarande flagga inte bara kommunen som myndighet, utan Ă€ven som geografiskt omrĂ„de. Den heraldiskt korrekta kommunflaggan fĂ„r, sĂ„ lĂ€nge det görs pĂ„ rĂ€tt sĂ€tt, anvĂ€ndas av allmĂ€nheten för att uttrycka kommuntillhörighet, och anvĂ€ndaren behöver inte be om lov. Gnesta hade mellan 1974 och fram till 1992 tillhört Nyköpings kommun. Den nyupprĂ€ttade kommunen inkluderar Ă€ven tidigare Daga kommun. Daga hade ett (med den tidens mĂ„tt) inofficiellt kommunvapen: "I fĂ€lt av silver en grön björk med hĂ€ngen av guld." Motivet hĂ€mtades frĂ„n ett 1500â/1600âtalssigill för Daga hĂ€rad, innehĂ„llande en kvist, vilken tolkades som björk. Vapenbilden kan förstĂ„s som en symbol för livskraft och tillvĂ€xt, om nĂ„gon symbolik skall uttydas. Den Gnesta kommun som existerar sedan 1992 omfattar det gamla hĂ€radet i sin helhet. DĂ€rför lĂ€t man anvĂ€nda björken Ă€ven i den nya kommunens vapen. Detta innebar dock att det före 1974 officiella vapnet för Gnesta inte gick i arv, Ă€ven om det möjligen bidrog med tinkturerna grönt och guld. Tinkturbytet jĂ€mfört med Dagas inofficiella kommunvapen gjordes enligt Riksarkivets inrĂ„dan, och innebĂ€r att det nya kommunvapnet utskiljer sig frĂ„n flera svenska kommunvapen som visar gröna trĂ€d i silverfĂ€lt. Gnestas kommunvapen registrerades hos Patentâ och registreringsverket den 18 juni 1992 med blasoneringen "I grönt fĂ€lt en björk av guld.". Denna version ritades av Vladimir A. Sagerlund, dĂ„ han var heraldisk konstnĂ€r vid Riksarkivet.English: The banner of arms of the municipality of Gnesta in Södermanland 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. Gnesta had since 1974 belonged to Nyköping Municipality, until its "reestablishment" in 1992. Since 1992, Gnesta Municipality however also encompasses the preâ1974 municipality of Daga. Daga had (by the standards of the day) unofficial arms: "In a field of silver a green birch with catkins of gold." The image had been inspired by a 16th/17th century seal for Daga Hundred, showing a twig, which was interpreted as birch. The charge can be understood as a symbol for life force and growth, if any symbolism is to be expounded. Gnesta Municipality as it exists since 1992 encompasses the old hundred in its entirety. It was therefore decided that the birch should be used in Gnesta's new municipal arms as well. This did however mean that the previously official arms of Gnesta before 1974 would not be readopted, although those arms potentially contributed with the tinctures green and gold. The change of tinctures compared to the old unofficial arms of Daga Municipality had been done in accordance with the counsel of the Swedish National Archives, and led to the the new municipal arms standing out from several Swedish municipal arms showing green trees in silver fields. The arms of Gnesta Municipality were registered with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office the 18th of June 1992, with the following blazon (directly translated): "In a green field a birch of gold." This emblazonment was drawn by Vladimir A. Sagerlund when he was the heraldic artist at the National Archives. |
