This one is particular, as already Ströhl in 1904 [stl04]
mentions the flag, which is totally uncommon:
"Die Ortsflagge wird heute noch schwarz-rot geführt." (The village flag is still used in black-red.)

In addition to the version showing the arms, there is also one without the arms. Probably this version was used more extensively in the
past, when most municipal flags were plain striped flags without arms.
