Dresden Flag for Indoor & Outdoor Use

Display Dresden’s distinctive black and yellow colours with this city flag featuring its historic coat of arms. The central golden shield pairs a black lion with two black vertical bars, creating a recognisable design for a garden flagpole, an indoor display or a collection of German city flags.

Dresden’s Lion and the History Behind the Shield

A surviving city seal from 1309 already shows the Meissen lion alongside the Landsberg pales, the heraldic name for the two vertical bars. Both symbols connect Dresden with the Wettin dynasty and its territories. Their combination gives the flag a historical identity rooted in medieval Saxony.

A Reminder of Dresden and Life Along the Elbe

For former residents, visitors and collectors, this flag offers a lasting connection to Dresden. Display it beside photographs of the city, use it as a backdrop for a local gathering or give it to someone with fond memories of time spent along the Elbe. Its contrasting colours also make it a striking addition to a regional flag collection.

The flag is made from 115 g/m² polyester with reinforced edges and double seams. Two rust-resistant brass grommets provide attachment points for suitable flagpole clips or ties.
