Summary
About the place: Neu-Isenburg is a town in the Offenbach district of Hesse, Germany, located in close proximity to Frankfurt am Main. It was founded in 1699 as a refuge for Huguenot religious exiles from France.
Flag Description: The flag of the town consists of a horizontal triband of red, white, and red in proportions of 1:2:1. In the center of the broader white stripe rests the town's coat of arms. The shield is party per pale: on the dexter side (left from the viewer's perspective), it is divided into fourteen alternating silver and red horizontal bars; on the sinister side (right from the viewer's perspective), it is tierced in fess with a black chevron on a silver field in chief, a red field in the center, and a golden yellow field in base.
Symbolism: The red and white colors of the flag reflect the state colors of Hesse. The alternating red and silver stripes on the dexter side represent the Counts of Isenburg, who founded the town. The sinister side displays elements derived from the coats of arms of the historic Isenburg lines.
