Cycling towards the Danish-German border, I saw the flag of Eggebek: banner-of-arms as shown in this website, except that I am not sure the brook (bek) wasn't placed a bit higher in the flag.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 Aug 2001
I used the arms from this website for my image. Eggebek is in Schleswig-Flensburg county and the seat of a subcounty (Amt).
