Flag adopted 7 December 1995.
From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website: The arms were granted on January 18, 1993. The arms are derived from the 13th century arms of the Principality of Rügen, with the addition of a crown. The meaning of the old arms is not known.
Literature: Linder and Olzog 1996.
