The coat-of-arms, granted 27 May 1964, combines two old Bavarian symbols,
the lozenges and the lion.
You can find a picture of this coat-of-arms at Ralf Hartemink's
International
Civic Arms website. In Oberbayern too there was a discussion about
the flag [as in Niederbayern]: the possible
stripe combinations were yellow-blue or white-blue-white, but the Bezirk
did not like these. Since 1979 the Bezirk tried to get approval
for a banner-of-arms, without success. However, since 11 March 1982 the
Bezirk
Oberbayern uses a vertical flag. The upper, square part is quartered
(1 and 4: Sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and crowned Gules; 2 and 3: lozengy
Argent and Azure), the lower part is vertically divided in white and blue.

at the Der Flaggenkurier website. Further information at the Bezirk
Oberbayern website (only the recently devised logo is shown, not
the coat-of-arms or the flag).

Does this mean that this Bezirk has only got a hanging
flag, whereas the other Bezirke have
only
got horizontal flags? And where does the 11:3 ratio come from?
Santiago Dotor, 30 Jan 2001
The flags of the Bavarian Bezirke are based on Linder
1997 which is available online
[but without images] at the Der Flaggenkurier website. He shows
six of them as 'normal' horizontal flags, only the one of Oberbayern as
a vertical flag. As both Dieter Linder and me live in Munich
(the capital of Oberbayern) we both checked the flag of Oberbayern on our
own, and Dieter Linder depicted a sketch of it in his article. I made several
photos of the Oberbayern flag, and also measured it (it is 440 × 120 cm,
i.e. 11:3 proportion). There is no official basis for this proportion;
this flag is not even official, as already mentioned. I guess this is just
what the flag manufacturer wanted to make. The Bezirk Oberbayern
definitely does not use a horizontal 'normal' flag.
