Municipality of Leopoldshöhe

Leopoldshöhe: The ratio of the flag is 3:5.
Description: It is a yellow flag with red horizontal stripes at the upper and lower edge. The ratio of stripes is estimated 2:7:2. The coat of arms is superimposed and slightly shifted to the hoist.
Description of coat of arms: The shield is divided per bend by a wavy white line with some small black wavy lines in it. The lower part is green with a white sugar-beet. The upper part is red with a yellow gear with 4 spokes and 8 teeth.
The wavy line probably symbolizes the Aa, a creek. The green colour and the sugar beet stand for agriculture, the red colour and the gear for industry. The red and yellow stripes mark that the municipality belonged to the Principality of Lippe.
Source: spotted on 26 December in Leopoldshöhe-Asemissen on circular road.

It is a yellow banner with red edges on both sides. The ratio between the stripes is 1:2:1. The coat of arms is fully in the yellow stripe shifted to the hoist.
Note: According to source the flag was authorized the same day with same ratio between stripes and coat of arms fully within the yellow stripe.
There is used however a flag with ratio estimated 2:7:2 with the coat of arms superimposing a little bit of both red stripes, as I have contributed on 10 March 2007
