A popular, although not officially recognized version of the meaning of the colors is
black for the dark ages that were to overcome
red for the blood of war
gold (represented as yellow) for a bright future

The flag was (re-)invented several times, but its meaning was most important during the so-called liberation wars against Napoleon in French-occupied Germany at the beginning of the 19th century. Supported by Russia, Sweden and Britain, the German states united against the French, and in 1813, Napoleon was defeated, and there was an end to the occupation. The German flag then used has since been a symbol of German unity, and that's its official meaning until today.

Black -red - gold. It means from the darkness through the red blood to the golden freedom.

There are several theories regarding the origins of the German flag colour scheme and its meaning. The most popular theory is that the black and gold combination relates to the colours on the semi-official coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire.

In the radical 1840s the black-red-gold flag was used to symbolize the movement against the Conservative European Order that was established after Napoleon's defeat.


What is your Problem ?
it stand for the color of their skin and the color of tradition
