Argent, a Monk habited unhooded Sable and shoed Gules passant.

This is not a monk at all - see Münchenstein's home page. A guy named M�nch built a castle here c. 1270. That castle (Stein) gave the village its name. Blazon in German is "Wappen: Seit 1946. Auf silbernem Grund ein schwarzer, barh�uptiger, rot beschuhter M�nch. Das Wappen entspricht dem Siegel des bisch�flich-baslerischen Ministerialengeschlechts M�nch. Flagge: weissschwarz (M�hlemann, 1991).
CoA: Since 1946. Argent, a Monk habited unhooded Sable and shoed Gules passant. The arms are like the seal of the episcopal-Baselian family of bonded nobility M�nch. Flag: WN.

I guess this flag is canting: M�nchenstein = Monk's stone
