Description of current flag:
The flag's ratio is 3:5. It is an armorial flag.
Source:
Though within the local Hauptsatzung no flag is mentioned, the city uses armorial flags (no banners). The information was confirmed by Mr. H.P. Weiß from the city's central services department on 13 Dec 2011.

Description of coat of arms:
The silver (= white) shield is divided by a black, centred cross, divided by white cross hairs. The centre of the cross is superimposed by a red inescutcheon showing two golden (= yellow) keys, crossed saltirishly.
Meaning:
According to source the cross is taken from the arms of the Archbishopric and Electorate of Köln while the keys are symbolizing St.Peter, the patron saint of Köln. The current arms are known since the 17th century.

The coat of arms was confirmed by Regierungspräsident Köln(?) in 1972.
