Müllheim im Markgräflerland

About the place: Müllheim im Markgräflerland is a town in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, located in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district between the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest. Known as the center of the Markgräflerland wine region, it boasts a rich history and a mild climate.

Flag Description: The flag is designed as a vertically hoisted banner consisting of two equal vertical stripes: blue on the left (heraldic dexter) and white on the right (heraldic sinister). The town's coat of arms is centered on the division line of the stripes. The shield is divided per fess: the upper red field displays a golden pale charged with three black chevrons; the lower blue field features half of a silver mill wheel on the left side (viewer's perspective) and a silver decrescent with a face on the right side.

Symbolism: The municipal colors blue and white are derived from the lower field of the coat of arms. The upper partition with three black chevrons on a golden pale in a red field represents the historic arms of the Lordship of Badenweiler and the House of Baden-Durlach. The lower partition features a canting symbol: half a mill wheel referencing the town's name Müllheim ('home of mills'), accompanied by a crescent moon with a face, an emblem originating from ancient local seals.
