• Description
• Flag Variant with no Coat-of-Arms, possibly mistaken

See also:

• Emden Flags c.1595-c.1811 (Lower Saxony / Niedersachsen, Germany)
• County and Municipal Flags (Lower Saxony / Niedersachsen, Germany)
• Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen, Germany)
• Germany

The flags are drawn after the information in Dutch on the Delfzijl website [translated in the Emden Flags c.1595-c.1811 page]. Emden used a plain yellow-red-blue flag in the 16th century, see also this scan from Danckerts 1705. In the 18th century the flag seems to have changed and was used with the arms on the central stripe. Image of the arms from Stadler 1964-1971

Emden became a city probably at the end of the 14th century. T
