Divided diagonally from red with a white cross and from green by a white wavy bar.
In 1018 Emperor Heinrich II gave the valley called Albetal to Einsiedeln Abbey. In the border
dispute between the Abbey and the Land of Schwyz, according to a document dated 1217, Count Rudolf the Old
of Habsburg awarded the valley to Schwyz, which was confirmed with the peace treaty of 1350. The little
white "Schwyz cross" may be a reference to that dispute.
