Flag of North Rhine Westphalia Germany - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of North Rhine-Westphalia is the official banner representing this federal state in western Germany. Adopted on November 27, 1950, it consists of three equal horizontal bands of color: red at the top, yellow in the middle, and black at the bottom. This tricolor design is a symbolic nod to the region's historical background, as North Rhine-Westphalia was formed from merging several smaller states that bore these same colors. The flag serves both ceremonial and identifying purposes, embodying the state's rich history and unity within Germany.
