Flag of Weimar Germany - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Weimar Germany, also known as the Black-Red-Gold Flag, was adopted on November 21, 1918, and served as the national flag of the German Empire until 1935. This tricolor flag is composed of three equal horizontal bands of black (top), red (middle), and gold (bottom). The flag's colors have significant historical symbolism; black represents mourning for the sacrifices made during the war, red stands for the socialist revolutionary movement, and gold signifies liberality and democracy. The Black-Red-Gold Flag was a symbol of unity and hope amidst the chaos following World War I, but it was later banned by the Nazi regime. Today, it remains an important symbol of German democracy and freedom.
