The flags ratio is 3:5. It is a blue over yellow horizontal bicolour with the coat of arms shifted to the hoist.

Description of coat of arms:
Three blue leaves of a water-lily are growing out of a blue base, bordered by a fessy wavy line , into a golden (=yellow) field.
Meaning:
The leaves are taken from the coat of arms of the duchy of Engern (in early times capital of duke Widukind) which was used by the archbishops of Cologne together with the Westphalian white horse. One of the archbishop's titles since the beginning of the 16th century was "Duke of Engern and Westphalia".
