The flag of Echt-Susteren is at the municipality's homepage, where it is mentioned as having been introduced during the New Years reception of 2 Jan 2005, after having been adopted by the municipal council on 11 Nov 2004.
It is a combination of elements from the flags of the former municipalities, which form the new municipality since 1 Jan 2003: the white saltire and the yellow cross crosslet on red of Echt, and the blue lozenges on white (reversed colors) of Susteren.
