Germany Eagle Crest Flag for Indoor & Outdoor Use

Germany’s National Colours with the Federal Eagle

Display a distinctive combination of Germany’s black, red and gold colours with the historic German federal eagle. This Germany eagle crest flag is suitable for homes, gardens, balconies, German cultural events, sporting occasions and international flag collections.

Made from durable 115 g/m² polyester, the flag features the German tricolour with a black eagle displayed on a gold shield at the centre. The vivid design is finished with reinforced edges, double stitched seams and two brass grommets for convenient indoor or outdoor display.

Two Historic German Symbols in One Design

The colours black, red and gold became closely associated with movements for national unity and constitutional freedom during the 19th century. They appeared during the German revolutions of 1848, were used by the Weimar Republic from 1919 and returned as the federal colours of West Germany in 1949.

Following German reunification on 3 October 1990, the black, red and gold tricolour continued as the national flag of the united Federal Republic of Germany.

The eagle has an even longer history as a symbol of German statehood. Its origins can be traced to the Holy Roman Empire. A single-headed eagle was later used by the German Empire, retained by the Weimar Republic and reintroduced as the Bundesadler of the Federal Republic in 1950.

The Eagle Crest and the Federal Service Flag

This product combines the German tricolour with the pointed shield of the federal coat of arms. It is presented as a decorative Germany eagle crest flag and should not be confused with the official Bundesdienstflagge used by German federal authorities.

The official federal service flag uses a specially designed Bundesschild with a rounded lower edge and a different rendering of the eagle. Its use is reserved for federal government authorities in Germany.

Durable Polyester Construction

The flag is manufactured from lightweight 115 g/m² polyester. Reinforced edges and double stitched seams provide additional strength, while two rust-resistant brass grommets allow convenient attachment to a suitable flagpole, wall, balcony railing or display fixture.
