Warum ist die deutsche flagge schwarz rot gold?
Why is the German flag black, red and gold?The colours black, red and gold were originally used in the flag of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (a black double-headed eagle with red claws and beak, on a gold background)Another origin of the colours of the German flag lie in the 1813 wars of liberation against Napoleon. They are based on the colours of the uniforn of the Lützow Free Corps. The corps was made up mainly of students, who formed up to oppose the French occupation of Germany. The corps, commanded by Prussian Major Adolf von Lützow, was made up of people from all over Germany, all with different uniforms and the only way to create a unified uniform was to dye the clothing black. Gold coloured buttons were added to the uniform, along with red lapels and red stitching.On June 17, 1817, seven students who had served in the Lützow Free Corps founded the fraternity of Jena (Burschenschaft zu Jena), with the motto Honour, Freedom, Fatherland, and chose black, red and gold as their fraternity colours.On October 18, 1817, 500 fraternity students and some professors, attended the Wartburgfest, near Eisenach to demonstrate for freedom and a unified Germany, marching under a black, red and gold flag.From May 27 to May 30, 1832, 30,000 people carried black, red and gold flags as they demonstrated for national and democratic goals at the Hambacher Fest.In 1848 the German National Assembly officially declared the German flag to consist of three horizontal black, red and gold stripes.
What does Germanys emblem look like?
The German flag is made up of three horizontal bands of black, red and gold. It is based on the colours of the Lützow Free Corps, formed during the German war of Liberation against Napoleon in 1813. The Corps was made up mainly of students.Black, red and gold were furthermore established as the national colours of Germany between 1815 and 1866, when they were picked for the national flag by The German Federation.On 18 May 1848 representatives entered the first German national paliament in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt and on 13 November 1848 black red and gold were declared to be the colours of the national flag in the Reichsgesetzblatt (Reich Law Gazette). The German Federation failed due to German Princes' refusal to give up power and the attempts of Prussia, the largest German kingdom to direct German unification to suit its own interests. As a result Prussia founded the Norddeutsher Bund (North German Federation) in 1867, with a black, white and red flag.Following the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, Prussia seized the moment and riding high on a wave of German patriotism, proclaimed the German Empire from the Mirror Hall at Versailles, with the king of Prussia as kaiser. With this the black, red and gold flag was confined (for the meantime) to history in favour of the black, white and red of the North German Federation.With the defeat of Germany at the end of the First World War and the abolition of the Reich, Germany again assumed the black, red and gold as its national colours.When the Nazis seized power in 1933, the old red, white and black flag of the Empire was reinstated alongside Nazi flags as it had the same colours as the Nazi flag. Hitler, who had designed the Nazi flag, described it thus: Red symbolises the "social concept" of the movement, white symbolises nationalism and the purity of the Arian race and the black Swastika symbolises "the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Arian race" over world jewery.Following the defeat of Nazi-Germany in 1945, the Allies banned all previous national flags and German ships were forced to sail under the international signal flag for the letter C( C for Capitulation), which was made up of the colours red, white and blue, which just happened to be the national colours of the four Allied powers. In 1949, after a long debate, during which several new designs were proposed, the decision was made in West Germany to reinstate the black, red and gold of the Weimar Republic. The reason for this was to demonstrate a legal continuity between the Weimar Republic and the new Federal Republic.In 1948, communist East Germany had decided to opt for a black, white and red flag but changed this in 1949 to the same black, red and gold flag as used by West Germany. In 1959 East Germany added its state emblem, a garland of corn with hammer and compass, to the centre of its flag. In Berlin and West Germany it became known as the "splitter flag" and until the end of the 60s it was a breach of the (West German) constitution and a public order offence to display the East German flag (in West Germany) and the police took steps to prevent it.
