Summary

About the place: Eschelbronn is a municipality in the Rhein-Neckar district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located in the Kraichgau region. It is historically known as a traditional center of cabinetmaking and furniture production.

Flag Description: The flag is a vertically hoisted banner consisting of two equal vertical stripes of white on the left (from the observer's point of view) and blue on the right. In the center of the flag is placed the municipal coat of arms. The shield is party per pale; the left field (heraldic dexter) features blue and white fusils (Bavarian lozenges), while the right field (heraldic sinister) shows two crossed red lily-headed staves on a white background.

Symbolism: The white and blue colors of the flag mirror the dominant tinctures of the municipal coat of arms and reflect the historical ties to the Electoral Palatinate. The blue and white lozenges (Bavarian fusils) symbolize the rule of the House of Wittelsbach. The two crossed red lily-headed staves represent historical jurisdiction symbols or emblems of local nobility associated with Eschelbronn.
