The flag's ratio is 3:5. It is a black over red over yellow horizontal tricolour with centred arms.
Source: Jürgen Sprunck, an official of the comprehensive municipality, unfurled the townhall's flag for me on 26 October 2007.

Shield parted per fess; above Or a demi-lion rampant Azure, armed and tongued Gules holding a short sword Gules in bend sinister by his right forepaw; beneath Gules an oak branch Or with three acorns.
Meaning:
The flag colours are taken probably from the flag of Lower Saxony, which are the same as those of entire Germany. The demi-lion is a modification taken from the arms of the county and the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg

Shield Vert, a church tower Argent, in base four grain ears Or tied of the same.
Meaning:
The tower belongs to the local parish church, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. The grain ears probably are representing the four other villages belonging to Betzendorf as follows: Drögennindorf, Glüsingen, Tellmer and Holtdorf. The flag colours are taken probably from the flag of Lower Saxony, which are the same as those of entire Germany, although the shade of yellow here is different.

Shield parted by a pall wavy Argent, above both sides plain Vert, in base Or a dolmen Sable.
Meaning:
The pall wavy is symbolising Luhe River, the dolmen is alluding to the local necropolis with numerous dolmens.

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Or a lion rampant Azure, armed and tongued Gules; at sinister Azure an armring Or.
Meaning:
The dexter half displays the arms of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, the former rulers. The sinister half is alluding to the fact that the municipality had been populated since the Neolithic Age. The armring is referring to local excavations from the Bronze Age.
