Flag with CoA

There is another full name of the small monastic town of Schoenau/Odenwald: Schoenau bei Heidelberg.
The type of the modern residential area of Schönau Community is "one-street-village", that runs several kilometers in the narrow valley down, so that the higher part of it stays separated by a wide forest and mountains and calls Altneudorf (meaning "Old New Village"; a funny name comparing to "Young New Village", that administratively shared by two municipalities: Wilhelmsfeld, which has renamed it into "New Mill", originally Neumühle, and Schoenau, that owns an autonomic status (own townhall etc.), which has further districts: Unterdorf (Lower Village), Mitteldorf (Middle Village), Oberdorf (Higher Village) and Hauskorb or Vorstadt (House-Basket Suburb), geographically a part of Neumühle.
Now I'm sending the actual flag of Altneudorf.

This flag is a variant of the flag of City of Schoenau. In 1975 Municipality of Altneudorf and Town of Schoenau united to form the City of Schoenau.
