Symbolism: The colours white (silver), blue, green, and yellow (gold) along with the geometric layout directly derive from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2016. The green colour represents the agricultural countryside and surrounding forests of the Bohemian Forest foothills (symbolised by a linden leaf in the arms), blue and white evoke local waters and sacred heritage associated with the local St. Anne's Chapel (represented by a fleur-de-lis), and yellow corresponds to the golden eight-pointed star in the coat of arms.
