Flag Description: The flag of Munderkingen is a vertical banner consisting of two equal vertical stripes: red on the left side from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter) and white on the right (heraldic sinister). Placed in the center of the flag is the town's coat of arms. The silver (white) shield features a red lion rampant with a golden crown, holding a red six-pointed star in its upper right paw.
Symbolism: The red and white colors of the flag and coat of arms refer to the town's historical affiliation with Further Austria (Vorderösterreich).
