Description of flag:
The flag's ratio is 3:5. It is a white over red horizontal bicolour with the coat of arms in the centre of the flag.
Source: A photo of the flag is depicted on this webpage.

A photography of the county flag can be seen here: and, indeed, they are using a "Hissflagge" (horizontally hoisted flag) and not one of the usual vertical variants.

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per fess. On the chief are three silver (=white) crosslets in a red field. The crossbars are broader at their ends. On the base is a light blue, rampant, double queued lion, red armed and red tongued surrounded by eight red hearts, all in a silvery(=white) field.
Meaning: The blue lion is that one of Welfen dynasty, the former rulers of the Duchy of Lüneburg. About crosses and hearts I have no information.

The tinctures I spotted on a boundary post between Lüneburg county and Uelzen county.
