415. What are the colors of the state flag of Rhineland-Palatinate?

Answer options

1. white-red
2. black-red-gold
3. black-yellow
4. green-white-red

Explanation

The state flag of Rhineland-Palatinate uses the federal colors black‑red‑gold; the governmental (service) flag adds the state coat of arms. This choice reflects the democratic‑republican tradition of 1848/49 and the Weimar Republic; Article 22 of the Basic Law designates black‑red‑gold as the federal flag, while their use as Land emblems is regulated by state law. Created in 1946, the Land adopted these colors to emphasize its integration into the federal constitutional order.
