Description of current flag:
The flag's ratio is 3:5. It is a 9-stripes flag with horizontal alternating white and blue stripes. The flag has a white rectangular canton, width 1/3 of total width, height 5/9 of total height. In the canton is a red rampant lion armed and crowned golden.
Meaning:
According to Veddeler 2003 p.154 the lion is taken from the coat of arms of the city. In the arms of former municipality he was superimposing a silver shield divided by 7seven blue barrets.
