In a blue field is a golden (=yellow) St.Andrews cross. Its bars are superimposed by a blue line.
Meaning:
The St.Andrews cross was used by Castrop since the 16th century. The final version was authorized by the city council on 15 July 1965.
Authorized: a flag of the same colours was used by Castrop at least since 1885.
