The national colours of the Federal Republic of Germany are officially black, red and gold,〔The "Gold" (''Or'') is nearly always represented by a shade of Yellow, as there is no distinct color "Yellow" in heraldry; they both count as "Gold".〕 defined with the adoption of the German flag as a tricolour with these colours in 1949.〔article 22 sec. 2 of the German Basic Law constitution: ''Die Bundesflagge ist schwarz-rot-gold.'' ("The federal flag shall be black, red, and gold.").〕 The colours ultimately hark back to the tricolour adopted by the ''Urburschenschaft'' of Jena in 1815, representing an early phase in the development of German nationalism and the idea of a unified German state. Since the 1860s, there has been a competing tradition of national colours as black, white and red, based on the Hanseatic flags, used as the flag of the North German Confederation and the German Empire. The Weimar Republic in 1919 opted to re-introduce the black, red and gold tricolour. This was controversial, and as a compromise, the old flag was reintroduced in 1922 to represent German diplomatic missions abroad. As a reaction, ''Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold'' was an organization formed in 1924 representing the parties supporting parliamentary democracy, and for the remainder of the existence of the Weimar Republic, black-red-gold represented the centrist parties supporting parliamentary and black-white-red represented its nationalist and monarchist opposition. ==Black, Red and Gold== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National colours of Germany」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
