Flag of Schleswig-Holstein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

3:5 Civil flag of Schleswig-Holstein (1948-)

3:5 State flag of Schleswig-Holstein (1948-)

The flag of Schleswig-Holstein is a horizontal tricolour of blue, white, and red.

After the establishment of Schleswig-Holstein in 1946, this flag had been in use since 1949 although it was not formally established until 1957.^[1] The plain tricolour is the state's civil flag. Government authorities use the state flag (Landesdienstflagge), where the flag is defaced by the state coat of arms.^[1]

The tricolour was previously used for the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein (1868-1946).
