2:3 image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 28 Feb 2013
It is an armourial flag (banner of arms).
The shield is divided by an ascending line into two trapeziums. The trapezium at dexter is yellow and displaying a green crancelin in bend sinister. Above is a red, sinister bendy sabre.The trapezium at sinister is green and in the lower half divided by a broad, white wavy fess. A white millwheel is partially covered by the fess wavy. Above is the white half-timber construction of a farmhouse.
Meaning:
The location was first mentioned in 1310 as Riekenhagen. Afterwards it had been devastated, perhaps by bad environmental conditions. Since 1649 the name Boden appears first, together with the name of an administrator called Boden Tim, his civil name was Tim Bubert. The word "Boden" is derived from "Bude", which is a small house, perhaps just a hut of the poorer people. Thus the half-timbered construction is a canting element. The wheel is alluding to the cornmill, first mentioned in 1312, where grain for the whole district was ground. Afterwards the mill was converted into a hydroelectric power station. The sabre is reminding on two encounters: 1813 French and Danes against the coalition, and 1864 Danes against troops of the German Confederation. The crancelin is alluding to the Askanian dukes from the Ratzeburg-Lauenburg branch.

The base of the green shield is divided by a golden (= yellow) fess wavy. Above is statant stork in natural colours, flanked by golden (= yellow) figures, an ear of grain on the dexter side and an oak leaf on the sinister side.
Meaning:
Some couples of storks are breeding every year in Koberg. The adoption of the stork is symbolising the intention of the municipality to preserve this rare species. The green colour is symbolising woods and highmoors. The grain is symbolising agriculture. The leaf is symbolising oak groves. Oaks had been so important that the city of Lübeck bought this village twice, in 1265 and in 1468, before Koberg was ceded to Lauenburg in 1747. The fess wavy is symbolising the little Bille River.

In a green flag is the coat of arms, slightly shifted to the hoist and having nearly total height of the flag. Two yellow, horizontal, wavy lines are continuing the bars wavy from the shield.

The base of the golden (= yellow) shield is divided by two blue bars wavy. A green oak is the main figure. The stem is superimposing both bars. The tree has a broken branch on the dexter side. The tree is flanked by two red figures, an upright anchor on the dexter side and a heart crowned by a crosslet on the sinister side.
Meaning:
The oak is the well-known storks' oak in the municipal grove of Lankau. The two bars wavy are symbolising the big and the small lake of Lankau. The heart with cross is an attribute of St. Birgitta of Sweden, who established an order of nuns. Her order built a monastery and a church in Lankau in the first half of the 15th century. The anchor is alluding to the Elbe-Lübeck-Canal.

The shield is divided per pale wavy into silver (= white) and green. The narrow silver partition is superimposed by a blue pallet wavy. On the green partition is a golden (= yellow) wheelbarrow loaded by 16 bricks of peat of the same colour. The bricks are ordered 4:4:4:4. Above is a horseshoe of the same colour.
Meaning:
In the past there often had been struggles between the farmers of Lüchow and Duvensee. The problems were finally solved by a trench at the border of both villages, symbolised by the blue pallet wavy. The horseshoe and the wheel barrow are symbolising the rural environment, the latter especially the digging for peat.
