"Gules a Fiddle Argent bendwise with neck downwards." (Flags of the World) (visit link)

The first flag of Stein around 1840 was an example of canting arms that did not meet heraldic standards at all. In 1939 a historically justified model was found: the coat of arms of the noble family von Stein, who played a role in the region in the 13th century. This new flag finally became official in 1965, but was already in use several years before.

I found this flag at the entrance to a sheltered workshop of a local non-profit organization at the eastern border of town.
