Flag Description: The official flag of the town of Freinsheim is a vertical banner consisting of two equal vertical stripes: black on the left and yellow on the right. The town coat of arms is placed in the upper part. The shield is divided vertically – on the left side from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter), on a black field, is a golden crowned Palatine lion with red claws and tongue; on the right side (heraldic sinister), on a silver (white) field, is a red capital letter 'F' surmounted by a green bunch of grapes on a stem with two leaves.

Symbolism: The golden crowned lion on a black field represents the town's historical affiliation with the Electoral Palatinate (Kurpfalz). The red letter 'F' is the initial of the town's name, Freinsheim. The green bunch of grapes symbolizes the centuries-old viticultural tradition of the Palatinate region. The black and yellow colors of the flag stripes are derived from the traditional Palatine colors.
