Flag Description: The vertical flag (banner) of the town of Murrhardt consists of three equal vertical stripes: black on the left from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter), white in the middle, and green on the right (heraldic sinister). In the upper half of the flag, the municipal coat of arms is placed across the stripes. The shield of the coat of arms is silver (white) featuring a green fir tree on a green mount, with two black wolves rearing on their hind legs and resting their front paws against the trunk of the tree.
