Hainburg Banner

It is a banner of nine alternating red and white stripes of equal width. Jörg Majewski, 3 Aug 2006

Hainburg Arms

The shield is Argent with three chevrons Gules, in base three shingles Gules ordered 1:2.
Meaning:
The arms were approved on 11 June 1955. The three chevrons were taken from the arms of the Counts of Eppstein, the former rulers. As the village is well known for the production of roof-tiles and shingles, the chevrons are also symbolizing a roof, whereas the shingles in base are symbolizing the industry.
