The municipality
Neuching has adopted a flag by the vote of the municipal
council of February 22nd 1983. The flag shows two stripes
of the colours Red-Yellow; it shall be
used with the arms on it. The Government of Upper Bavaria
approved the adoption of the flag on June 10th 1983. In actual use are hanging flags with arms in
the proportions 10:3; the arms cover 2/3 of the flag
width. Different from most other flags in the Landkreis,
the flags are not made from synthetical fabric; the arms
are sewn on, Or and Argent are displayed as such, not as
Yellow and White. Also the reverse of the flag shows the
arms sewn on, which leads to the impression of a flag of
the colours Yellow-Red. In this form the flag was used
inofficially from 1975 to 1983.
The newer variant of the municipal
flag (depicted below) is also an hanging flag in the
proportions 10:3; the arms cover 70% of the flag width.
However, the arms is printed on the flag, so that it is
mirrored on the reverse.
The municipal flag is in use during
municipal festivities and state and church holidays (e.g.
Corpus Christi Day). Flagging is performed at three
locations: town hall and fire brigade's house in
Oberneuching, school in Niederneuching.
