Cologne Flag for Indoor & Outdoor Use

Bring a piece of Cologne into your home, garden or flag collection. This Cologne flag features a red and white background with the city’s distinctive coat of arms: three golden crowns above eleven black flame-shaped symbols. Known in German as Köln, the city has a visual identity that extends far beyond its famous cathedral.

The Story Behind Cologne’s Three Crowns

The three crowns represent the Three Wise Men, whose relics were brought to Cologne in 1164. The eleven black symbols are traditionally associated with the legend of Saint Ursula and her companions. Together, these elements connect the city’s coat of arms with centuries of religious tradition and local history.
