Summary
editDescriptionFlag of Kalmar.svg |
Svenska: Vapenflagga för Kalmar kommun i Kalmar 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. Med rätta kan det konstateras att Kalmars stadsvapen är det som har äldst anor i Sverige. Stadens första sigill, sköldformat och känt från 1247, visar ett torn ovanför vågor. Motivet är vanligt i medeltida städers vapen, och Riksarkivet förklarar det som föreställande Kalmar slott omflutet av vatten. I det näst äldsta sigillet, känt från 1302, dyker stjärnorna upp. Deras syfte var att fylla ut tomrummet på vardera sida tornet, eftersom detta sigill, till skillnad från det föregående, var runt. De bidrager även till att vapenbilden skiljer ut sig från andra, liknande. Kalmars vapen fick sin nuvarande utformning formaliserad när det fastställdes av Kunglig Majestät den 3 oktober 1947. Efter 1970‐talets kommunreform och nya regelverk gällande kommunala vapen registrerades vapnet för Kalmar kommun hos Patent‐ och registreringsverket den 11 januari 1974 med följande blasonering: "I fält av silver ett krenelerat rött borgtorn med port och fönster av guld, uppskjutande från en av en vågskura bildad, blå stam och på båda sidor åtföljt av en sexuddig, röd stjärna."English: The banner of arms of the municipality of Kalmar in Kalmar 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 arms of Kalmar can rightly be stated to be the civic arms with the oldest roots in Sweden. The first seal of the city, known from 1247 and scutiform, shows a tower above waves. This is a common subject in the arms of medieval cities, and the Swedish National Archives explain it as portraying Kalmar Castle with water flowing around it. The stars appear in the second oldest seal, known from 1302. Their purpose was to fill the empty space on either side of the tower, as the second seal, unlike the previous one, was round. At the same time, they contribute with making the arms stand out from other, similar ones. Kalmar's arms, in their present form, were standardized through the confirmation of the King in Council on October 3rd, 1947. After the municipal reforms of the 1970s and changes to regulations regarding civic heraldry made during the same period, they were registered for Kalmar Municipality with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office on January 11th, 1974, with the following blazon: "In a field of silver a crenelated red castle tower with a door and window(s) of gold, issuing from a blue wavy base, and followed on either side by a six‐pointed red star." |
