Historical Information

Adopted 1 May 1945. From at least 1230 the Austrian arms consisted of a red shield with a wide horizontal white bar. The red-white-red stripes first appeared on the state and war ensign, introduced on 1 January 1787. The red-white-red horizontal bi-colour with no charge was adopted in 1918 as the national flag and in 1921 as the civil ensign. After the German occupation of 1938-1945, the flag was re-introduced in 1945.
