Summary
About the place: Lütjenburg is a town in the Plön district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is located northeast of Plön and east of Kiel in the historic region of Wagrien.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a blue field with a ratio of approximately 3:5, bordered at the top and bottom by narrow white stripes. In the hoist section of the blue field features the main motif from the town's coat of arms: a white ashlar tower with battlements standing behind a lower white crenellated wall on green wavy lines at the base. The tower is flanked by two yellow six-pointed stars. Atop the battlements rests a red shield bearing the silver nettle leaf of Holstein, flanked by two tilted red banners on gold poles, each charged with three yellow six-pointed stars.
Symbolism: The blue background and green waves symbolize the town's proximity to the Baltic coast and local lakes. The white tower and wall represent its historical status as a fortified town and castle site. The small red shield displaying the nettle leaf denotes membership in Holstein, while the six-pointed stars and banners derive from the town's historic seals.
