Lenart (11,298 inhabitants) is a town located some 20 km northeast from Maribor. In some atlases, the city is named Lenart v Slovenskih Goricah (meaning in Slovene, Highlands/Hills). I believe that this has not been used as the name for the municipality, but only as the name of its main city.

The coat of arms and flag of Lenart are prescribed by decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Lenart, adopted on 2 October 1997, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije 71/1997, on 21 November 1997, with effect on 28 November 1997.
The flag is vertical, in proportion, 1:3, green with the coat of arms in the middle, the width of the arms being 1/2 of the hoist side.

The decision has a detailed construction sheet of the coat of arms
and the flag. The coat of arms is given is an "inflated" triangular
shield, ratio 6:7, white, between two green hills a church with a
tower topped red, with two sides roofed red and a part of facade. The
elements are lined black, there are two black windows, a circular one
on the facade and an arched on the tower, and a white opening in the
tower roof.
The colours are defined by SCC system (Cinkarna Celje system).

According to Banderas municipales de Eslovenia, published in Banderas [ban] #58 (March 1996), and a postcard showing the Slovenian coats of arms, it seems that the former coat of arms and flag were adopted in 1989, though in minor details differing from what is official today. The flag and arms are also shown by Zalokar [zal90]
The flag is green, with the coat of arms in the middle, without further details defining it.

It seems that the coat of arms used from that time had at least two variants - one having a red chief with a white inscription with the name of municipality in white, the other without this chief, but with white inscription of the year 1989 in base (green field). It is possible that a coat of arms without inscription was also used.
