Scheeßel municipality

Municipality of Scheeßel (Rotenburg a.d. Wümme county; Lower Saxony)
Description of banner: It is a green and yellow vertical bicolour with the coat of arms shifted to the top.
Description of coat of arms: In a golden shield are six green oak leaves ordered 3:3.
Source: I spotted this flag in front of the local savings bank on 14 September 2009.
Note: According to www.kommunalflaggen.de the spotted flag doesn’t match the draft, given to Hauptstaatsarchiv in Hanover on 22 November 1955. The draft is described by Stefan Schwoon as follows: banner, vertically divided 1:2:1 into yellow-green-yellow with coat of arms in the centre.
I cannot prove however the existence of that flag. Maybe, the colours of the coat of arms in the 50ies of 20th century had inverted colours. The only image, I could get, can be found at this site, shot during the celebration of 1150 years anniversary, when the mayor receives a document of his merits.
