The colours were silver and blue and were taken from the arms of Bayern. The flax plants symbolise the importance of the linnen industry in the town. The hammer in the left half symbolise the other main industry, the iron industry. In 1949 the colours of the field were changed to red and gold, the historical colours of the town, which are most likely derived from the arms of the Lords of Rettenberg, who owned the village for a long time.
