![[Peuerbach erroneous flag]](../images/a/at-o!peu.gif)
by Marcus Schmöger
The information on Peuerbach I originally got from the flag manufacturer
(Fahnen Gärtner); they made a flag in the colours
blue-white-green for the Fest der Fahnen in 2002. In December 2003 I got an
e-mail from the municipality itself, stating that this flag was an error of the
manufacturer. The municipality uses white-red flags; 2 February 2004 they sent me some photos proving
this. They claim that Fahnen Gärtner mixed two municipalities up: Peuerbach and a neighbouring municipality (probably
Bruck-Waasen, as they do have blue-white-green).
