Summary
About the place: Bad Wildungen is a renowned spa town located in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in northern Hesse, Germany. It is situated in a scenic area near the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a 3:5 ratio field divided into two equal horizontal stripes, black on top and yellow on the bottom. In the upper-left corner from the observer's view (upper canton near the hoist), a yellow eight-pointed star with fine internal ray lines is placed within the black stripe.
Symbolism: The black and yellow colors are derived from the traditional state colors of the former Principality of Waldeck, to which the town historically belonged. The eight-pointed star is likewise an iconic symbol of the Counts and Princes of Waldeck and forms the central element of the town's heraldry.
