Kuldiga is a Hanseatic town of 15.000 inhabitants in Latvia
(Semigallia/Courland), 160 km west of Riga. The flag was adopted in 1992. It is
dark red over black with a white wheel in the centre. Martins
Heimrats was the designer. I do not know whether the colours mean
anything, but the dark red is perhaps intended to be the same as
in Latvia's national flag. Kuldiga's arms show a woman, St.
Catherine, in silver. In her left hand she is holding a sword, in
her right a wheel. St. Catherine is Kuldiga's patron, and the
wheel is her symbol.
