Germany Flag - Official National Flag of the Federal Republic of Germany #3055829 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Germany is a tricolor of three equal horizontal bands: black on top, red in the middle, and gold (officially “golden yellow”) at the bottom. It was first used during the 1848 revolution and officially reinstated in 1949 for the Federal Republic of Germany, representing democratic values and national unity. The colors derive from the uniforms of the Lützow Free Corps during the Napoleonic Wars and later became symbols of liberal nationalism.
