Sudeten Germans flag

by Jarig Bakker, 7 Jan 2001, based on info of Ralf Stelter, 7 Jan 2001

The Sudeten Germans (Sudetendeutschen) use the colors black-red-black, which date back from the republican symbols of the national convention in Frankfurt. After the first World War German Bohemia and German Moravia declared themselves part of German Austria, but became part of Czechoslovakia in 1919. As a sign of mourning the color gold was replaced by black. The image from this site. has proportions 1:1:1.

The flag is wrong! The stripes are in ratios of 1:2:1.

Sudetenland (the historical region near border between Czechia and Germany, that was settled by Germans and from 1938 to
1945 connected to Hitler´s third empire): horizontal black - red - black. The flag is used mainly by Sudetendeutsche
Landsmanschaft (union of Germans, that had to flee from Czechia to Germany after WWII).
Jiri Martinek, 26 Jan 2000.
