Eindhoven

The flag of Eindhoven, North Brabant, is a striped flag, with two vertical red and white stripes on the hoist of the flag and five horizontal red and white stripes near the fly of the flag.
The flags were officially adopted on October 14, 1927, and designed by architect Louis Kooken.
==Symbolism==
The fly consists of five horizontal stripes, alternating red and white, representing the municipalities of Woensel, Tongelre, Stratum, Gestel, and Strijp, which merged with Eindhoven to form a single municipality in 1920.Municipal Coat of Arms and Flag at eindhoven.nl
== Municipal Standard ==
At the same time, a municipal standard was introduced, which is similar to the municipal flag with its red and white stripes. The municipal standard is the same as the main flag, but it has the coat of arms in the canton. These symbols come from the municipal coat of arms, which has roots in the heraldry of the Lords of Brabant and Cranendonck, specifically the House of Hornes, a branch of this noble family. The post horns represent the House of Hornes, while the lion symbolizes the power and authority of the Duke of Brabant. Eindhoven is the only municipality in the Netherlands to have two official flags.
