The official name of the German flag is Bundesflagge (federal flag). However, this name is mainly used by authorities or in very official announcements. The name given on the page about names of flags, Schwarz-Rot-Gold (black-red-gold), is not very common; it is more a poetic term. Most Germans simply call the flag Deutschlandfahne (Germany flag). Carsten Linke, 2 May 1996

In Germany the ratio of flags is not ruled by law, but there are voluntary consensus standards for flags formerly fixed in DIN 61000 edited by Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN) . In article 2.1 there were given 7 sizes for German flags hoisted on poles, beginning with 20cm x 35cm up to 60 cm x 1000cm. That means ratio is between 4:7 ( height approx. 57% of width) and 8:13 (height approx. 62%). The most frequent ratio however is 3:5 (height = 60% of width). About hanging flags in article 2.2 there is just mentioned, that their width should correspond with the height of hoisted flags and their height is arbitrary. According to DIN the rule is no longer valid. For amount of 10 Euro it can be seen here Klaus-Michael Schneider, 1 Mar 2017

The black-red-gold is historically associated with "liberal" nationalism in Germany, rather than republicanism per se. It was first adopted by the Frankfurt Parliament in 1848 for the proposed united German Empire. That the 1870 German Empire went for a flag asserting north German traditions (the black and white of Prussia with the white and red of the Hanseatic League) was due to Bismarck wanting a Kleindeutschland [smaller Germany] solution - excluding the Austrian lands, rather than the Frankfurt liberals' Großdeutschland [greater Germany] which would have included the Austrian lands within the old German Confederation. Roy Stilling, 5 Oct 1996

The national flag of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is known as the Ramhongsaek Konghwagugki, which translates to mean “red colored flag of the republic.” The North Korean flag's prominent motif is a red star, which is synonymous with communism and/or socialism, although since the flag's adoption of the socialist inspired philosophy of Juche has replaced communist authority as the state's principal ideology, and any references to communism has since been removed, but its characteristics are nonetheless present in the North Korean constitution. The flag features a wide red stripe down the center which is said to represent the revolutionary traditions of the nation. On either side of the red stripe are thin white stripes, which represent purity. There are also two blue stripes which are said to symbolize unity. However, other groups have stated that the symbols and colors of the flag mean different things. For example, the Korean Friendship Association says that the star represents revolutionary traditions and the stripes are said to symbolize patriotism, determination, ethnic purity and unity of the nation.

The black-red-yellow tricolour flag has been used at least three times in the history of Germany. It was adopted in 1848, and abolished in 1852; re-adopted as the flag of the WeimarRepublic on 11 August 1919, and abolished and replaced by the ThirdReich flag (12 March 1933). It was finally re-adopted as the modern German flag on 8 May 1949. It was used by the German Democratic Republic until 1959, but added a coat of arms from 1959 to 1989, when the Germanies were reunited. Mark Sensen, 1996

I regard all these flags "true" vertical flags also, the only problem with all these flags are the proper English terms, as these types of flags (be it Hängefahne, Banner or Knatterfahne) are "very" uncommon in other countries. M. Schmöger, 9 Apr 2003

As the western occupation zones moved to unity in the last years of the 1940s, it became obvious that the governmental entity which would develop would adopt the black-red-gold of the Weimar Republic and indeed, it was established as the National Flag on 9 May 1949, two weeks before the Federal Republic came into existence. Unlike the Weimar period, there has been no serious opposition. Most of the 1949 flags are still in use. Norman Martin, Feb 1998

Schmöger, 14 Mar 2001 Hanging Flags and Variants #1     #2   Images by Thorsten, 5 Apr 2003      I would like to discuss the description of hanging German flags. I can't speak for all regions of Germany (e.g., the main contributor/editor of the Germany page seems to reside in Bavaria), but at least in the northeastern parts of the country (i.e. the former GDR including Berlin, the national capital), (true) vertical flags (i.e., flags hanging from a horizontal bar) are extremely rare.      However, it is very common to hoist very tall and narrow flags (the German term for this kind of flag is "Knatterfahne") on a regular flag pole. This particular kind of flag is so popular, that many government offices use it exclusively. I can only speculate as to the rationale. Real estate is in short supply in Germany and many office buildings have "their" flagpoles on very narrow sidewalks in front of the building. If "regular" flags of sufficient size would be flown, they might brush against trees, the next flag pole, or the building facade.      Two different variants are used. The most popular option is to "rotate" (and; slightly stretched) the flag. In other words, the black stripe of the German flag would run along the flagpole #1. In the less frequent variant, the stripes are still arranged horizontally, leading to "stripes" whose individual ratios are roughly 1:1! #2.      In addition to the national flag, govt. buildings usually also fly a (very tall and narrow) European Union flag. State office buildings also fly their state flag. Since my home state is Saxony-Anhalt, I have included the two variants of that flag (which can appear with or without the state CoA, so that there would actually be four variants.)      I noticed that the shade for the yellow stripe on the Saxony-Anhalt state flag is identical to the shade used for the German national flag. This choice seems unfortunate, as the the color is given explicitely as yellow and not gold. Whenever you see a Saxony-Anhalt flag flying next to the German black-red-gold, it is very obvious that the yellow in the Sax-Anh. flag is lighter. (I don't have any official specification, but the yellow from the Belgian national flag seems just about right.)      Perhaps ironically, a tall flag hoisted on a flag pole is given for a fringe political party, when such flags are actually very common, not just for EU, Germany, and states, but many flags hoisted in front of buildings, e.g., political flags, commercial flags etc. Thorsten, 5 Apr 2003 I regard all these flags "true" vertical flags also, the only problem with all these flags are the proper English terms, as these types of flags (be it Hängefahne, Banner or Knatterfahne) are "very" uncommon in other countries.
