The Flag of Kronach, Germany, is a heraldic banner representing this Bavarian town located in the Upper Frankonia region. Its design features three vertical stripes in the colors of blue, white, and red, symbolizing the town's long history as part of the Holy Roman Empire.
The flag's top and bottom stripes are blue and red, while the central stripe is white. This arrangement follows a traditional pattern used in many German flags, such as the current national flag of Germany.

The flag's colors have significant historical and symbolic meanings. Blue represents loyalty and allegiance, red signifies courage and bravery, while white stands for peace and purity. The exact origins of the Kronach flag are unclear, but it is believed to have been officially adopted in the late 19th or early 20th century.
In contemporary times, the Flag of Kronach serves as a symbol of pride and identity for the town and its inhabitants. It appears during official ceremonies, festivals, and events, reinforcing a sense of community and shared history among the people of Kronach.
