Additional information:
The Markian chequered bar (or fess)consists of three connected fesses, each having alternating red and white squares. The top fess is starting with a red square at the dexter side. It was a symbol of the counts of Mark. It is part of many Westphalian flags and/or coats of arms, e.g. Hamm, Altena, Ennepetal,
Gummersbach, Iserlohn, Wattenscheid.

The ratio is 5:2. It is a vertically divided blue and white flag superimposed by the coat of arms, which is shifted to the hoist.
