The Flag of Germany has three equal horizontal bands which display the national colours of Germany, black, red and gold.
The tricolour has been the flag of East and West Germany after WWII, although East Germany added its coat of arms in 1959. Since reunification in 1990, the tricolour has remained the German flag.
The use of the golden eagle as an emblem probably dates back to Charlemagne (742-814). Although the coat of arms changed very often in Germany's long history, the eagle has always been part of it.
