The colors on the German flag came from the 1848 revolution, when people were advocating for a unified German Republic. They ended up failing, though the flag was adopted in 1871 when Germany unified--though many times up to that point people tried to discredit the colors. The Nazis got rid of the black-red-gold flag and replaced it with back, red, and white. After World War II, the black-red-gold flag was brought back, and today stands for the unity and freedom of the German people.
