City of Winsen an der Luhe (Harburg County / Lower Saxony).
Flag: Its ratio is 3:5. It is a blue over yellow over red horizontal tricolour superimposed by the coat of arms in the centre of the flag.
Description of coat of arms: In a blue shield is a golden (=yellow) rampant lion with red tongue and red claws surrounded by eight red hearts.
Note: Winsen a.d.Luhe is the county's capital since 1937, when the city of Harburg was incorporated to Hamburg.
Source: I spotted the coat of arms on 29 March 2007 at the townhall of Winsen. The image was made according to the description in http://kommunalflaggen.de/ based on the primary source "Deutsches Städtebuch" Abschnitt 12.
