Flag of Kleve Germany - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Cleves (Kleve in German) is a historical heraldic banner representing the Duchy of Cleves, an important territory in the Low Countries from the High Middle Ages until the 17th century. The flag consists of four equal vertical quarters, each carrying a different coat of arms: 1. The first quarter features a silver (or white) lion passant guardant on a field of red. This represents the House of Cleves, also known as the Jülich-Cleves-Berg dynasty. 2. The second quarter displays three golden (or yellow) fleurs-de-lis on a blue background, symbolizing Cleves' historical connections with France. 3. The third quarter shows a gold (or yellow) lion rampant on a red field, representing the County of Mark, one of Cleves' neighboring territories. 4. The fourth quarter features a golden (or yellow) cross potent on a blue background, symbolizing Brandenburg-Ansbach, another important historical influence on Cleves. The Flag of Cleves serves as an enduring reminder of the region's rich history and complex political relationships throughout the Middle Ages and into the Early Modern Period.
