The Flag of Bayreuth is the official banner representing the city of Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany. Adopted on October 16, 1953, the flag is a horizontal tricolor composed of three equal vertical stripes, with the colors red (to the hoist side), white, and blue (towards the fly). The design reflects the city’s historical coat of arms, which dates back to 1276. The current flag has been in use since 1953 when Bayreuth regained its status as an independent city within the state of Bavaria.
