German Flag - Official National Flag of Germany #118223 (License: Personal Use)

The German flag consists of three equal horizontal bands: black at the top, red in the middle, and gold (often depicted as yellow) at the bottom. Adopted in its current form in 1949, it symbolizes freedom, democracy, and unity following the division of Germany after World War II. The colors trace back to the early 19th-century liberal movement and the 1848 revolution.
