Würzburg City Flag

Red-yellow banner with the arms. The arms show a banner quartered of red and yellow, derived from the banner of the Bishops of Würzburg which is red and white on blue background — see also the flag of Unterfranken district. The quartered banner is nicknamed Würzburger Rennfähnlein.

Würzburg is an old city, which became the seat of a bishop as early as 741. In the 10th century the bishops became prince-bishops, who bore the title of Duke of Franconia (Franken). The arms show the banner of the bishops, albeit in wrong colours; it should be red and white on a blue shield. The arms are known as the arms of the city since the 16th century, but are probably older. (...) The colours are also known since the 16th century.

The ratio is approx 5:2. It is a red - yellow vertical bicolour. The coat of arms is shifted to the top. The shield however in this version is a renaissance shield, classified by Neubecker as "German, 1580"
