When people view the German flag, they try to look for stories that talk about its development. The three main colors are gold, black and red. The flag has been around for many decades and presents the history of the Germans.
In 1848, the Frankfurt Parliament first displayed the flag with the plan of uniting all feuding German states. Due to political disputes, the banner was removed after the government changed. It surfaced again after World War at the time of Weimar Republic. The Nazi again changed the flag and installed their own banner. At the end of World War II, the old German flag rose again. When East Germany was separated from West Germany, the East side established a banner featuring a coat-of-arms at the center. When the two sides finally reconciled, the three colors again emerged and the emblem removed. The German flag may have undergone various changes but the current version is very much the same as the original.
The Germans refer to the Germany flag as Bundesflagge or Deutschlandfahne. Others give it names based on the colors. The government flag includes a federal shield, which is their own presentation of the country’s coat-of-arms. Other Germans call it the Schwarz-Rot-Gold or the black-red-gold flag. People might still find versions with the old emblem in the middle.

The three tones actually stand for the leader of the Holy Roman Empire. The colors represent a golden field and a black eagle with red claws. Many people do not know this even today.
