The flag was changed to its mirror image in 2003 so that the figures face the hoist.

- German Wikipedia article about the change of the coat of arms:

Trivia: Our "city"'s custom manhole covers with the local coat of arms were manufactured before 2003 and are therefore probably the only "illegal" manhole covers in the world ;-)
