The banner of Austria is a red and white flat triband that was re-received on May 1, 1945, after World War 2. This red and white striped banner is one of the oldest national banners in Europe.

The red and white hues in this banner are taken from a legend in which the Duke Leopold V of Austria was blood-drenched from the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, and just a segment of white stayed on his sword bend. He then picked these hues and as an example for his banner. However the earliest documentation of an Austrian flag dates to Duke Freidrich II (1210-1246). He wanted Austria to be more independent of the Roman Empire so he adopted the red and white flag in 1230.

The red and white hues in this banner are taken from a legend in which the Duke Leopold V of Austria was blood-splashed from the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, and just a piece of white stayed on his sword waistband. He then picked these hues for his banner. The Austrian flag is one of the oldest national flags in the world. It dates from 1191 when Duke Leopold V fought in the Battle of Acre during the Third Crusade.

The banner of Austria has three parallel lines with two red hues and white the middle. It doesn't make a difference in the event that you are known, yet a demonstration of honesty towards others evokes chain reaction. As with just about every other nation in the world there is meaning to the colors used on the Austrian flag but that is a story for another time.

However, this is not the end of the story. Like most European countries, Austria looks back on a very eventful history. Yet there are some elements of the Austrian character that haven’t changed much over the centuries: the partiality for indulgence, beauty, and cultivation has always been a driving force in the country’s past and present...

Of course, this is not the end of the story. On October 26, the Austrian national flag is presented throughout the country. Memorial ceremonies are held in many locations, federal museums offer free entry and some state institutions open for visitors. Today, every country in the world has a flag. And this symbol demonstrates the nation.
