The flag actually shows 11 stripes, alternately red and white, plus a black stripe on the left, and a yellow stripe on the right side; all with city arms, of course - The city website does show the arms, but not the flag.

Bietigheim-Bissingen Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a red shield is a silver (= white) tower superimposed by a blue Latin cross having a split up base.
Meaning:
The tower is representing Bietigheim, the cross Bissingen. The tower is symbolizing a tower of the old castle, which existed since 1474 and toppled down in 1542 and in the end was used as a belfry of the local church. The cross could be found on the milestones of the spital (infirmary) of Markgröningen, which gained the patronage over Bissingen in the 15th century.
Bietigheim, a possession of the Counts of Vaihingen was ceded to Württemberg in 1356, gained city rights in 1364 granted by Emperor Karl IV, got walled in 1386 and became seat of a subcounty (Amt) in 1504. The tower can be found on prints of seal since 1474. The first coloured depiction of the arms from 1535 wasn't really modified till today.

Banner and coat of arms were approved on 12 July 1976 by Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart, published in GABl 311/1977.
