What does the German flag stand for?

Answer 1

Well that's quite a long and complicated answer. But basically its stands, historically, for the unification of Germany, The colors were first used in the 19th century during the struggle of the unification of the hundreds German (independent) states into a more democratic construct of a nation. In a poem it is called the dark night (presence with small states, a lot of borders within Germany, powerful autocrats and no citizen rigths), the red morning (the idea of a better future, the ideals of the young, the struggle) and the golden light (the future of a united Germany where all Germans together can work for the better in the country).Similarities can be found in the German anthem. Later was freedom added to the symbols.As the only German flag the flag of the President and the Chancelor have an eagle in the middle due to the heraldic history of German flags.
