Background knowledge
The black-red-gold flag of today's Germany was used unofficially and in individual German states after the war, but was not officially introduced until 23.05.1949, and adopted for the Federal Republic of Germany on 07.09.1949.
Today's national coat of arms was reintroduced on 20.01.1950, after it had already been in use between 1919 and 1935. It goes back to the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire: black eagle with red armor on a golden shield. The heraldry of the FRG continues the traditions of the German Empire between the years 1918 and 1933 (the so-called "Weimar Republic").
Three equal horizontal stripes (black, red, gold).
Hymn
3rd stanza:
Unity and justice and freedom
For the German fatherland!
Let us all strive for this
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of happiness;
Blossom in the splendor of this happiness,
Blossom, German fatherland.
