Black-White-Red Tricolor Flag - Historical German Empire Design #3378684 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized waving flag displays the black-white-red tricolor adopted by the German Empire in 1871, remaining in official use until 1918. The design includes three equal horizontal stripes-black on top, white in the middle, and red at the bottom-with a black canton on the hoist side bearing four vertically aligned black circles, likely representing a simplified representation of the Prussian coat of arms or regimental insignia. Though no longer a national flag, it remains historically significant and is sometimes referenced in discussions of German imperial heritage.
