What is the history of the German flag?

Answer 1

For the expansive answer that this question deserves, I have added a link below.

the colors of the German flag is black , red, and gold.

The colours represent the Uniforms of the Lützow Freikorps.The Lützower Freikorps were fighters to free Germany from napoleons occupation. Those fighters were mostly students.

They had black uniforms with red borders and golden buttons.

Those students made flags with the colors black, red and gold in order to demonstrate for freedom and democracy.

Those colors became the symbol of Germany's uprising.

Answer 2

Germany as most European countries, has had many different flags over the centuries.

Far to many to list. But on the link below is an abbreviated history of the "Deutsche Flagge".
