It is an armourial flag (banner of arms).
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 19 Dec 2019
Shield Gules parted by a cross Argent, superimposed by an inescutcheon Or, charged with an oak Vert having eight leaves.
Meaning:
The territory Dänischer Wohld (Danish: Jernved, Latin: Sylva Danica) is historically a peninsula between the Bay of Kiel and the Eckernförde Bay. Some of its historic villages in the Southeast are nowadays boroughs of Kiel. Due to its forest it had been a sparsely populated buffer between the Saxons and the Danes even in the 13th century. In 1231 it became a royal fiefdom of the Danish King Valdemar II (1202 - 1241). It remained a Danish territory until 1866. The subcounty consists more or less of the historical parish of Gettorf. It was formed of six municipalities plus Felm Municipality, which had belonged to Dänischenhagen Subcounty, in 1970. On 1 January 2008 Gettorf was added, which had been subcounty-free (amtsfrei) since 1816. The white cross on red is alluding to Denmark being a Danebrog and representing the word "Dänischer". The inescutcheon is so big that the Danebrog is reduced to a mere bordure. The oak is representing the word "Wohld" (Forest). The leaves are representing its eight municipalities.

It is an armorial flag.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 15 Jan 2013
In a blue shield is a golden (= yellow) three-peaked mountain superimposed by a green common sundew (Latin: Drosera rotundifolia). The base is blue divided by two silver (= white) bars wavy, which are connected by a pale of the same colour. Three silver (= white) leaves are superimposing the blue chief.
Meaning:
The mountain is symbolising the local landscape, moulded by groves, swamps, acres, hills and valleys. Especially the leaves and the sundew are symbolising groves and swamps. The base wavy is symbolising the waters in and around felm, i.e. the Baltic Sea, the Kiel Canal, the old Eider Canal and the numerous creeks. The pale is symbolising a watershed on the area of the municipality.

It is an armorial flag.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 15 Jan 2013
In a blue shield is a golden (= yellow) wavy mountain, superimposed by a red Gothic church tower with a silver (= white) spire. The tower is flanked by two silver (= white), rooted oaks.
Meaning:
The oak trees are symbolising the Danish Wohld (Dänischer Wohld), a major forest. The church tower is representing a chapel dedicated to St. George (Jürgen), first mentioned in 1318 and replaced by a church in 1600. The chapel had been a place of pilgrimage in the early medieval. Gettorf is the capital of the Danish Wohld, which in the 11th century was called "Isarnho", i.e. "iron wood", by the chronicler Adam of Bremen. The Danish denotation is "Jarnwith". In the 13th century German colonists settled down here and cleared the forest. The yellow mountain is symbolising a peninsula extending into the Baltic sea, symbolised by the colour of blue. The colours of the arms are those of the arms of Schleswig-Holstein.

Meaning:
The leaf is a canting element. The stone is a natural monument on the area of the municipality. The shield is alluding to the von Ahlefeld family, owners of the manors of Lindau (bei Gettorf) and Königsförde since 1460 and patrons of Gettorf Parish.

This is symbolised by the fire.
