Erroneous flag made for the Upper Austrian "Fest der Fahnen" (2002)

[Peuerbach erroneous flag] 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).
