Flag Description: The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of green, white, and green. Centered on the broader middle white stripe is the coat of arms of Heusenstamm. The coat of arms depicts in a silver (white) field a green rooted oak tree with six leaves and three golden acorns. In the red chief, there is a silver (white) dancetty pattern with three downward points (the Schönborn 'Rechen'). The flag aspect ratio is 3:5.
Symbolism: The green stripes and the rooted oak with acorns represent the historical region of Dreieich and the surrounding forests. The red chief with three points is derived from the coat of arms of the Counts of Schönborn, who resided in Heusenstamm and shaped its local history.
