The flag of Germany or German flag (German: Flagge Deutschlands) is a tricolor consisting of three equal horizontal bands displaying the national colors of Germany: black, red, and gold (German: Schwarz-Rot-Gold).[1] The flag was first adopted as the national flag of modern Germany in 1919, during the short-lived Weimar Republic, until 1933. The colors of the modern flag are associated with the republican democracy first proposed in 1848, formed after World War I, and represent German unity and freedom.[2] During the Weimar Republic, the black-red-gold colors were the colors of the democratic, centrist, and republican political parties, as seen in the name of Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold, formed by members of the Social Democratic, the Centre, and the Democratic parties to defend the republic against extremists on the right and left.
