Banner and arms were approved on 5 December 1963 by Minister of Interior of Bayern. The symbols were confirmed on 1 June 1973 by district governor of Oberfranken for a greater municipality after some incorporations of minor villages. The flag is approved for use with arms (see left image above) and without arms (see right image above).
