Austria National Flag And Flag Company Inc

By Gloria Pane


The flag of Austria is a red and white horizontal triband that was re-adopted on May 1, 1945, after World War 2. This red and white striped flag is one of the oldest national flags in Europe and has been used since in Austria since at least the year 1191.

The red and white colors in this flag are taken from a legend in which the Duke Leopold V of Austria was blood-soaked from the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, and only a strip of white remained under his sword belt. He then chose these colors and pattern for his flag.

The Austrian Empire was founded in 1806. Austria was taken over by the Nazis in 1938. The allies occupied Austria after WW II until it became totally independent in 1955 on the proviso that it remained neutral. Red colour has a great deal of implications. It could mean adoration, amazingness, war, receptiveness or even sickness. Since this colour is used to portray strength. This characteristic mix to have courage.

The flag of Austria has three parallel lines with two red colors and in between is color white. Same with the other countries - white still represents honesty and truth. It does not matter if you are known, but an act of honesty towards others causes chain reactions, widening the message of peace in each mind, calmness in heart, the strength of soul, and harmony to the environment.

However, this is not the end of the story. Like most European countries, Austria looks back on a very eventful history. Yet there are some elements of the Austrian character that haven’t changed much over the centuries: the partiality for indulgence, beauty, and cultivation has always been a driving force in the country’s past and present...

Of course, this is not the end of the story. On October 26, the Austrian national flag is presented throughout the country. Memorial ceremonies are held in many locations, federal museums offer free entry and some state institutions open for visitors. Today, every country in the world has a flag. And this symbol demonstrates the nation.
