The flag consists of three belts of equal width: or, argent and gules. The colors of the flag are derived from those of the Coat of Arms. The ceremonial and official flag also includes the Coat of Arms at the center of it.
Both the Coat of Arms and the flag were consulted with the people of the county
and with the boards of the communes which belong to the county. They were
adopted on 30 May 2000 by the County Council.

The river is called in the German language "Oder" ( in English and French language: Oder). Polish and czechs inhabitants called the river "Odra". In the Middle age, the country at the Oder- River was the diocese of Lebus (polish: Lubuskie). The diocese was established in the year 888.
The coat-of-arms with the white eagle descended from the Slavic Przemyslian and Jagiellian dukes of the 13th century AD.It is symbol of the Slavic past of the 13th century AD and the Polish present since 1945.
The wavy belt symbolizes the Oder- River. The colors remind of the diocese
of Lebus. The Lebusian country (diocese (Bistum) and district (Landkreis))
had a arms, yellow field with two cruised red boathooks. The metal parts
of the boathooks were blue. Over the boathooks, a red six-pointed star
of the Slavic Saint Maria was until 1937. Headquarters of the bishop was
Lebus, which lies left of the Oder (Germany). Lebus is a small village
15 km north from Frankfurt (Oder). This village gives the entire landscape
her name, country of Lebus. (German: Lebuser Land; Polish: (Ziemia Lubuska))
Gorzyca (formerly German name: Goeritz) was the summer and recuperation
seat of the bishops, which lay right of the Oder (Poland). The village
Gorzyca had a arms, purple field with two cruised yellow bishop-croziers.
Over the croziers was a yellow six-pointed star of the Slavic Saint Maria.
An illustration of the coats-of-arms of the diocese of Lebus is in the
church of Gorzyca. Gorzyca and Lebus lie removed 10 km.
