Flag Adopted
1 May 1945

Continent: Europe

The current flag of Austria was officially adopted May 1, 1945, but the design dates as far back as 1230, making it one of the oldest national flag designs in the world.  The legend of the origin of the flag begins on the battlefield, where Duke Leopold V, of Austria, removed the belt from his blood-soaked tunic revealing a solid white stripe across the middle of his bloodstained shirt.  This is emulated in the civil design, which consists of three equal horizontal stripes, in red, white and red.  Austria also recognizes a government version of the flag which features the coat of arms centered on the same civil design.  The coat of arms features an Eagle holding a gold sickle in one talon and a gold hammer in the other.  His legs are bound with a broken iron chain, and his chest is emblazoned with a red, white and red shield.  It is maintained that the hammer and sickle are not associated with communism, but when considered with the eagle’s crown, simply represent the unity of the three classes of people within the nation.  The broken chain is believed to have been added in 1945 as a direct reference to Austria’s liberation from the Nazis.
