Please note that in §2(2) of Hauptsatzung of the city of Dinslaken, version 4 July 1995, just a flag is mentioned but no banner. According to Mr. Sinemus, a functionary of the city, there exist however an everyday banner, a plain bicolour, and a banner with coat of arms used only for special occasions exclusively by the city.
The coat of arms was approved by Prussian ministry of state in 1928.
Description of current flag:
The flag's ratio is 3:5. It is a red over white horizontal bicolour.
