Municipality of Šentrupert

The Municipality of Šentrupert (Občina Šentrupert) is a municipality in southeastern Slovenia. The seat of the municipality is the town of Šentrupert. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.

It was established on 14 June 2006 with the exclusion of the former Local Community Šentrupert (Slovene: Krajevne skupnosti Šentrupert) from the Municipality of Trebnje.

On 15 April 2010, the municipal councilors adopted the coat of arms and the flag proposed by Aleksander Hribovšek. It has historical basis on the coat of arms of Hemma of Gurk which was posthumously, centuries later, fictitiously assigned to her as well as the coat of arms of the Barbo von Waxenstein family. It consists of a golden lion on a blue field holding a silver crescent in its right paw.
