Current Flag

It is a red over white horizontal bicolour with the coat of arms shifted to the hoist.

Coat of Arms

The shield is divided per fess. In the base are three red chevrons on a silver(=white) field. The chief is divided per pale. On the right side is a golden (=yellow) ear of wheat in a blue field. On the left side is a blue branch of juniper in a golden (=yellow) field.
The Municipality was founded in 1973, when the municipalities of Steinhagen, Brockhagen and Amshausen merged. The coat of arms of the old municipality, which was granted on 1 March 1939, was kept. Its use was permitted on 16 August 1977.
Meaning:
Steinhagen belonged to the Counts of Ravensberg. Their coat of arms was a silver(=white) shield with three red chevrons. The grain and the juniper are the ingredients of a strong digestive named Steinhäger because of its origin from Steinhagen.
The colours red and white are not only those of the county of Ravensberg but also of the Prussian province Westfalen (engl. Westphalia), to which the municpality belonged since 1815.
