Description of flag:
The flags ratio is 3:5. It is a red over yellow horizontal bicolour with the county's coat of arms shifted to the hoist.
Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (=yellow) field is a red bar superimposed with three silver (=white) millrinds.
Meaning:
The red bar in the golden field is the coat of arms of the archbishops of Münster. The three millrinds are taken from the coat of arms of the lords of Zuylen (Utrecht, the Netherlands), who ruled the small dominion of Anholt in medieval times.
Authorized: 23 November 1987 by Regierungspräsident Münster.

Note: [Dutch "zuil" = column]. Therefore the millrinds sometimes had been erroneously denoted as columns.
