The flag of Bergün is a modification of the flag of the League of God's House. This was an independent territory in the area, founded in 1367. It became one of the Three Leagues in 1471 and was allied with the Old Swiss Confederation, but stayed independent until 1799. The thhreefold mountain and the sworld were added to the flag of Bergün to illustrate its former status as the seat of a court.
I found this flag at an old house near the Tuors bridge at the main street, together with the flag of Graubünden and another one I have never seen before, maybe the emblem of a biker's club.
