Flag of Mainz Germany - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Mainz, Germany, is a heraldic banner that represents the city's coat of arms. The flag consists of three horizontal stripes: red, white, and red. The central strip is divided into four equal parts by two vertical stripes, each bearing the silver (white) Mainz Shield in its center. The Mainz Shield is a black field with a golden (yellow) lion passant guardant, holding a golden (yellow) key in its right paw and a red banner charged with a silver (white) rose in its mouth. The rose represents the Virgin Mary, while the key symbolizes St. Peter, who are both important patron saints of Mainz. The flag's design reflects the city's rich history as a bishopric and free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. Today, the Flag of Mainz is an essential part of the city's identity, often used in official events, festivals, and public displays.
