It is a white-blue vertical bicolour. The coat of arms is in a white bannerhead.

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Argent a bend sinister Sable, charged with a sinister facing lion passant Or and flanked by two heraldic roses Gules with four petals, seeded Or and barbed Vert; at sinister Argent three lozenges Azure in bend.
Meaning:
The dexter half displays the arms of the Lords of Ziegeler, who were ennobled in 1622. They died out in the early 19th century. The lozenges are a differentiation of the arms of Bayern.

The banner has never been approved officially. The arms were approved on 13 November 1923 by Minister of Interior of Bayern.
