Description of coat of arms: In a blue field is a Saxon warrior in golden and silver armor. He is wearing golden boots. His right arm is upright, holding a short sword, a "sahs" which gave the Saxons their name. With his left hand he holds a shield which is standing on the ground. The shield shows the coat of arms of the counts of Holstein, a silver nettle leaf in a red field. The warrior is bearded and wears a golden helmet and a red scabbard for his sword.

Description of banner: I don't know, whether there exists a flag, because I only know the banner. Its ratio is 5:2. It is a blue cloth (FIAV-Code B-) with a vertical white stripe at each side. The estimated ratio of the stripes (b-w-b-w-b) is 1: 1:16:1:1. Shifted to the top is the image of the warrior from the coat of arms, but not the coat of arms itself.

I spotted this flag in July 2004 in Bad Bramstedt on the "Bleeck", which means "Minderstadt", a city with minor rights and it is more or less a market place.

Bad Bramstedt was in old history a market place where oxen were traded, sold and bought. This activity was made legally binding by handshaking of the trading
partners within the schadowcircle of the Roland statue. The original Roland was a wooden statue which consequently got burnt down and then was replaced with the present one.
It is a Danish Institution, the nettle blade on the coat of Arms belongs to the northern Part of Schleswig Holstein At that time Schleswig was part of Denmark.
