Summary
About the place: Eslohe is a municipality located in the Hochsauerland district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Set within the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park, it is known for its picturesque low-mountain landscape.
Flag Description: The flag is designed as a vertical banner consisting of three vertical stripes of blue, white, and blue, with the central white stripe being wider. In the upper half of the central white stripe rests the municipal coat of arms: a party per pale shield featuring, on the viewer's left (heraldic dexter), a white eagle with a red tongue on a blue field split by the partition line, and on the viewer's right (heraldic sinister), a silver/white field with a black curved pile issuing from the bottom.
Symbolism: The blue and white colors of the banner stripes reflect the primary colors of the municipal coat of arms. The silver eagle in the blue field refers to the historical connection to the Counts of Arnsberg, while the black curved pile on silver is derived from the arms of the Lords of Eslohe.
