History
Schleswig-Holstein uses a blue-white-red horizontal tricolor as its civil flag. The design originated in 1843, was banned in 1845, revived after the Prussian annexation in 1867, abolished in 1935, and restored after the Second World War. It was adopted for the modern state in 1948. The colors derive from the historic duchies of Schleswig and Holstein.
