Description of current flag:
The flag's ratio is 3:5. It is a white-red-white horizontal triband with stripes of equal width. In the upper stripe at the hoist are two red leaves of water lily fess.
Meaning:
Stadler mentions a tricolour in 1970, probably plain, the leaves are taken from the arms of the Counts of Tecklenburg, the former rulers.
