by Marcus Schmöger
The flag is used as a hanging flag, and shows two stripes of red and
white; the coat-of-arms is in the center, slightly offcentered to the
top.
The arms were granted on February 20, 1929. The arms show an ibex, a
typical animal for the high mountains in the municipality, taken from
the arms of the lords of Neukirchen. The point symbolises the mountains,
especially the Grossvenediger, Austria's second highest mountain. The
ibex has a red-white ball between his forefeet; this symbol comes from
the arms of the Kuenburg family.
