Liechtenstein was formed in 1719 as a principality within the Holy Roman Empire. It’s original flag was a yellow and red horizontal bicolor which is still used as the Banner of the Princely House of Leichtenstein.

Here’s something that is a bit unique about the flag of Leichtenstein. In 1982, four versions of the flag were officially mentioned in law. A standard flag, a hand flag, a triangular pennant, a vertical banner. I don’t know many other countries that have official vertical banners like this.

As you could probably have guessed, one of my favorite parts of the Olympics is the opening ceremonies. Every two years, you get to see countries parade their flags, their national symbols and colors in what I think is one of the healthiest displays of nationalism. The 1936 Summer Olympics was a very special one for plenty of reasons. Other than the fact it was held in Nazi Germany, the opening ceremonies had a little drama.

I was tired of buying flags from companies that sold confederate flags and the like. So In mid-2020, I decided to start a flag company that I would want to buy from—one that made good quality flags that only promote progressive messages and donate a portion to world-changing causes.

I got the first train from Zurich and arrived around 8am or so. Got off the bus and was struck by...nothing. No one. It was deserted. Using google maps, I found the one coffee shop that was open that early (though I'm used to Europe being filled with bustling coffee shops at this hour) and found the other five people awake in the tiny capitol of Vaduz.

I’m so glad I came because Liechtenstein is a beautiful place with a pretty cool flag that I’m adding to my collection. I hope you’re enjoying this flag explainer series as much as I enjoy making them for you.

It was then the Principality got a new constitution and proclaimed the blue and red banner with horizontal stripes the national flag by granting it "official status". The crown, added in 1937, epitomizes the "unity of the people and their price."

The 11 municipalities of Liechtenstein all have their own flags, but interestingly, they are all long vertical banners which is something I’ve never seen before. I wish I could stick around and go visit all 11, but had a train to catch.

Did I have to travel all the way to Leichtenstein to tell you that story? Well no, but let’s learn a little more about one of the smallest countries on earth and it’s flag.

I got up before the sun was out, jetlagged as *%€¥, but still excited because I got to visit somewhere I had wanted to go for a very long time.

The next year, Leichtenstein decided to add a crown to the canton of their flag to differentiate it from Haiti and also highlight the fact they are a principality.

There’s no airport in Liechtenstein, so the only way to visit is basically via Switzerland. Luckily it’s on the Swiss public transit network so it's super easy and included if you have a swiss travel pass.

Now I've quit my day job, have an office with three other awesome people, and run this crazy small business full-time. A flag nerd's dream come true! 🏴‍☠️

It gained complete independence in 1866, and somewhere around that time, the colors blue and red were selected to represent the area. The blue represents the sky, while red alludes to the "evening fires" that are lit inside houses throughout the country. A bicolor with vertical bars was used until 1921.

Picture this, August 1st, 1936, the sole athlete from Haiti enters the arena with a bicolor flag of two horizontal bands of blue and red. Shortly after, the tiny country of Leichtenstein enters with flag of two horizontal bands of blue and red… It was only then, at that Olympics in 1936, that both nations realized THEY HAD THE SAME FLAG!
