Imperial Germany Flag

Flags of the German Empire

During the 47 years of existence of the German Empire the number of official flags grew into an organised and comprehensive flag-system. At the same time the new flag's symbol-ism was accepted speedily by the population. The new flag decorated festivities, flew over newly acquired protectorates. It was treasured and decorated greeting cards. In the course of time the colours became so deeply engrained in the conscience of the population, that a change of colours during the Weimar Republic received only little acceptance.
