Schleswig-Holstein

The Schleswing Holstein flag is made up of three horizontal bands of equal size blue, white and red with the Schleswing Holstein emblem on the white band. This is the national flag of the independentists created in 1843 for a philharmonic society and immediately became very popular as to be considered the flag of the country and its inhabitants. Prohibited by the king of Denmark on July 31, 1845, he reappeared during the revolts of 1848-50. Only over a century later it would have been officially adopted as the flag of the Land. The coat of arms shows the blue lions in the golden field of Schleswig and the silver "nettle leaf" in the red field of Holstein
