The German flag as we know it today was re-introduced when Germany received their independence from France, Britain, and the United States on May 23, 1949. East Germany was still under Soviet rule so they had a different flag than the German flag in the west. The flag originated in the beginning of the 19th century when Germans fought during the Napoleonic wars. The colors black, red, and gold were the colors on the uniforms the soldiers wore to fight. The first time the flag was raised was in 1832 during the Hambacher fest in Hambach, a town in Southern Germany. Today the town holds an annual festival called the Hambach black, red, and gold fest to celebrate the culture and history. The colors have remained the same and now represent unity, justice, and freedom. The words in the German National Anthem sung today include Germany's flag colors.
