English: War Ensign of Germany 1871-1892

Date 2008

Source

This insignia has not been confirmed to be correct because it is lacking important source information: Please edit this file's description and provide a proper source.
HELP: (1) The picture claims to be authentic. As such, “own work” is no proper source by itself. If applicable, any provided source(s) doesn't show an original depiction nor an original description, and therefore may violate NPOV (neutral point of view) by being original research. (2) For coat of arms please use the blazon and/or the picture of an original interpretation to provide an adequate source, but at least one or more references to literature. (3) If this depiction is a derivative please use the Template: Derived from to avoid sequence errors, to make this work more transparent for others to view and investigate, and to avoid an infringement of the copyright licence.

This file depicts the flag of a German Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (corporation governed by public law). According to § 5 Abs. 1 of the German copyright law, official works like coats of arms or flags are gemeinfrei (in the public domain). Since the Federal Republic of Germany is the legal successor of the Weimar Republic as well as of the Third Reich, this law is also applicable to flags promulgated before 1945.
Note: The usage of coats of arms and flags (especially those of the Third Reich) is governed by legal restrictions, independent of the copyright status of the depiction shown here.
