Summary
About the place: Lauenförde is a market town (Fleck) in the district of Holzminden in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated on the right bank of the Weser river, directly opposite the North Hessian town of Bad Karlshafen.
Flag Description: The flag is a horizontal bicolor of yellow over red with an aspect ratio of 3:5. Shifted toward the hoist, it features the municipal coat of arms: on a red field above a blue base with three silver wavy bars, a walking golden lion with blue claws and tongue is depicted.
Symbolism: The yellow and red colors of the flag derive from the main tinctures of the coat of arms. The golden lion on a red field refers to the historical ties to the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg and the Welf dynasty. The blue base with wavy bars symbolizes the Weser River, on whose banks the town is situated and which inspired the 'ford' part of its name.
