Landkreis Emmendingen Flag for Indoor & Outdoor Use

Landkreis Emmendingen Flag - Heritage Between the Rhine and the Black Forest

Display the regional identity of southwestern Baden-Württemberg with the Landkreis Emmendingen flag. Its red and yellow colours and detailed coat of arms reflect the historic territories that once divided the region between the Upper Rhine, the Kaiserstuhl and the Black Forest.

This product represents Landkreis Emmendingen, an administrative district, rather than the individual city of Emmendingen. It is a meaningful choice for residents, former residents, regional associations, collectors and anyone with a connection to the Southern Upper Rhine region.

A District with Roots in Baden

Landkreis Emmendingen was established in 1939 from the former administrative district of Emmendingen. During the Baden-Württemberg district reform of 1973, plans to combine it with another district were not carried out. Landkreis Emmendingen remained independent and later received several municipalities from the former district of Freiburg around the northwestern Kaiserstuhl.

The district includes landscapes ranging from the Rhine plain and the vineyards of the Kaiserstuhl to the valleys and wooded slopes of the Black Forest. The Baden Wine Route and the German Clock Route also pass through the region, connecting its wine-growing traditions with the cultural heritage of the Black Forest.

Three Historical Territories in One Coat of Arms

The coat of arms was granted by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior on 5 November 1956. Its three principal elements recall the ruling houses that controlled different parts of the present district during the Middle Ages:

• The red diagonal band on a golden field represents Baden-Hachberg.
• The black six-peaked mountain on a silver field refers to the Lords of Schwarzenberg.
• The silver wing on a blue field comes from the heraldry of the Lords of Üsenberg.
• The combination of these emblems represents the different historical territories united within the modern district.
• The district flag uses the colours red and yellow.

The official district flag colours were granted on 23 January 1989. Red-yellow is the documented colour sequence, although yellow-red versions are also used.

Display Ideas

The flag can be displayed at home, in a garden, on a balcony, in an office or at a regional celebration. It is also suitable for cultural associations, local history exhibitions and collections of German district flags.

Its distinctive heraldic design makes it especially relevant for displays connected with Baden-Württemberg, Baden history, the Kaiserstuhl, the Elz Valley and the Black Forest.

Care Instructions

Wash the flag at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Allow it to air-dry completely before folding or storing. Taking the flag down during storms, very strong winds and extreme weather will help preserve its fabric, seams and colours.
