Summary
About the place: Neu-Ulm is a major district town in the Bavarian administrative region of Swabia, Germany, located on the right bank of the Danube river directly opposite the historic city of Ulm. Together with Ulm, it forms a vibrant cross-border twin-city hub with shared infrastructure and a history rooted in its origins as a federal fortress town.
Flag Description: The flag is a vertically hoisted banner with an aspect ratio of 1:4, consisting of three equal vertical stripes of black on the left (viewer's perspective), white in the middle, and blue on the right. In the center of the banner is placed the municipal coat of arms. The shield is divided horizontally into three equal fields of black, white, and blue, over which a white stylized fortress tower with battlements is centered.
Symbolism: The colors black, white, and blue combine the traditional colors of Ulm (black and white) with the Bavarian state colors (white and blue). The central white fortress tower represents the city's origins and heritage as a 19th-century federal fortress town.
