The county Erding has
adopted a flag by the vote of the county council of
November 15th 1957. The flag shows three stripes of the
colours White-Red-Yellow; it can be used
with the arms on it. The Bavarian Ministery of the
Interior approved the adoption of the flag on January
29th 1958. After the relevant vote by the county council
on 21st July 1972, the Government of Upper Bavaria
approved the readoption of the flag on October 31st 1972. Originally in 1954 the county wanted to
represent all municipalities having own arms (then nine)
on the flag in some way; this was however rejected by the
Bavarian Main Public Record Office.
In actual use are only flags with
arms. The flags are hanging flags, have a size of 400 x
150 cm (proportion 8:3); the arms cover 5/9 of the flag
width. The flags have been manufactured by Fahnen
Kössinger in Schierling and delivered the last time in
1995 and 1997.
The flag is in use on official
holidays (e.g. Day of German Unity) and during special
occasions.
