Germany Flag History

By Garry White


Germany is located in central Europe. Its land borders include the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France in the west, Switzerland and Austria in the South, and Poland and the Czech Republic in the east. In the north, Germany is bordered by both the North Sea and Baltic Sea, as well as by a very small portion of Denmark.

The most significant medieval events in Germany were pan-European in nature â€"Martin Luther brought on the Protestant Reformation with his criticism of the Catholic Church in Wittenberg in 1517, a movement that sparked the Thirty Years’ War. Germany became the battlefield of Europe, only regaining stability after the Napoleonic Wars with increasing industrialization and the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The first flag of Germany was adopted in 1848, at the time when Germany's feudal states were in the process of trying to unite. Although the union never occurred, a flag comprising equal widths of black, red, and gold was established. The three colors were the same colors that appeared on the uniforms of German soldiers during the Napoleonic wars.

At the point when the states were at last united in 1871, the hues were supplanted with black, white, and red. After a German republic was proclaimed in 1919 after their defeat in World War I, the black, red, and gold banner returned.

After 10 years, the banner was designed for the Nazi party banner, which additionally turned into the National banner. The end of the war respected the tricolor banner, however since East and West Germany had been partitioned, East Germany included its crest. The emblem was uprooted when the East and West reunified, and it, at last, resembles the first tricolor flag.

Today Germany has more than 82 million inhabitants, making it the most populated country in Europe. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Germany Flag for the future.
