It is a blue - yellow - red vertical triband with ratio approx. 1:3:1. In the yellow stripe is a half herdsman, dressed green and holding black items: a horn by mouth and left hand and a hammer in his right hand. Above the herdsman are three green 8-point stars ordered 1:2.
Meaning:
The stars are symbolising the former municipalities of Hammer, Mannhagen and Panten, which merged in 1938. The colours are those of Mecklenburg, because the municipalities had been Mecklenburgian exclaves in the territory of Lauenburg. The hammer is also alluding to the municipality, having this name. The herdsman is symbolising the main business line in the past, i.e. herding. The arms, and thus the flag are based upon a seal. The seal's draft was made after WW2 by graphic designer and satirist A. Paul Weber.

In a blue shield is a silver (= white) castle with three embattled towers, embattled walls and with port and windows blue. The silver (= white) chief is superimposed by a red label having four flaps.
Meaning:
The arms had been generated in 1990 on occasion of the 750-years-anniversary. In 1240 the von Ritzerau family and a watermill had been mentioned first. The label is a modification of the arms of that family, which also built a castle. The family died out in 1590 and the Hansa City of Lübeck overtook the village. The castle was demolished in 1634 and replaced by a fortified palace, which was demolished in the 19th century.

Shield parted by a fess wavy of Azure over Argent, above Or three deciduous trees Vert ordered 1:2, beneath Sable a post horn Or.
Meaning:
Schönberg is derived Schonenberch and alluding to the Schönau, a local creek meaning "clearwater". It is represented by the fess wavy. Black and yellow had been the colours oft he Askanian kin, being as Dukes of Saxony the local rulers between 1296 and 1689. The trees are representing the Schönberg Grove, a mixed forest, mainly consisting of beeches. The current village was established by forest clearances from that grove, which is still a characteristic feature of the nowadays landscape and symbolised by the trees. The grove had also an economic importance as raw materials of buildings and fuel. The horn is symbolising the mail station, which was established in 1666 alongside a highroad, since then used for mail transport.
