The Flag

Since 1660 Lithuania Minor has its own flag, which is made up of three equal horizontal bands: green on the top, white in the middle, and red in the bottom. Since 1829 this tricolor was used by student's fellowship Lituania, Koenigsberg University. Since 1885 society Birute used the tricolor with name of society in the middle. The flag was hoisted and after the accession to power of the Nazis in 1933. In 1988 the flag of Lithuania Minor was hoisted for the first time in Kaliningrad Region.

I'd like to note that Civil Flag or Landesfarben reported for Memel District 1920-1939 and the flag of Lithuania Minor are the same flag.

Coat of Arms

by Audrius Slapsinskas, 24 July 2003

The shield is divided into two fields, per pale. The dexter field is divided into two fields, per fess: the upper field is colored and the bottom field is silver. The sinister colored field is charged with a silver, dexter facing pranced horse. The black and white picture of the coat of arms of Lithuania Minor was taken from newspaper "Mazoji Lietuva" (Lithaunia Minor).
