Municipality of Seevetal

Municipality of Seevetal (Harburg county / Lower Saxony).
Its ratio is 3:5. Its a yellow flag with a horizontal green stripe on lower and upper edge and the coat of arms in the centre of the flag.
The ratio between the colours is estimated 1:7:1.
Description of coat of arms: A green shield is divided by a silver (=white) fessy wavy line probably meaning Seeve creek, which gave the municipality its name. In the chief is a golden(=yellow) passant lion facing the left side. In centre of the base is a golden(=yellow) millstone.
Source: I spotted the flag on 28 March 2007 in Seevetal-Garlstorf and on 29 March 2007 in Seevetal-Hittfeld. The flag fits the pattern submitted at Hauptstaatsarchiv Hannover on 11 June 1979 except the width of the stripes.

Hittfeld (municipality of Seevetal/ Harburg county/Lower Saxony).
It is a yellow over white horizontal bicolour with the coat of arms in the centre of the flag. The flags ratio is 3:5.
Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per fess. The chief shows a statant golden (=yellow) lion in a blue field. The base shows a blue annulet with a blue cross in a golden (=yellow) field.

Hittfeld is today part of the municipality of Seevetal. The lion in the coat of arms of Seevetal is obviously taken from that one of Hittfeld.
I spotted this flag on 7 May 2007.
(ed.note: the cross is called a "Tatzenkreuz", lit. translated "pawcross" by NEUBECKER, I do not know the English name; there also exists a hanging flag with the CoA shifted to the top, I spotted the same day; KMS)
