Summary
About the place: Herzfeld is a small municipality in the Bitburg-Prüm district in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is located in the Eifel region in western Germany near the Luxembourg border.
Flag Description: The vertical banner flag consists of a square upper field (Bannerkopf) and a lower section with two vertical stripes of red and white (red on the left, white on the right from the viewer's perspective). In the upper white field, the coat of arms displays a diagonal wavy blue bend running from bottom-left to top-right, over which a red stag leaps towards the left from the viewer's perspective (heraldic right). The aspect ratio is 1:3.
Symbolism: The red stag leaping over the blue wavy bend creates a canting emblem representing the name Herzfeld (deer/hart crossing a stream or field). The red and white colors reflect the traditional heraldic colors of the region.
