425. What are the colors of the state flag of Saxony?

Answer options

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

Explanation

The Free State of Saxony’s flag is a horizontal bicolor of white over green; these state colors are codified in Saxony’s 1992 Constitution. Historically, the palette derives from the Wettin crancelin (green rue crown) in the Saxon coat of arms; in the 19th century, white and green became established as cockade and flag colors. After 1990, the Free State deliberately restored this symbolism in continuity with the Weimar-era Free State (1918–1933). The other color sets point to different Länder (e.g., Schleswig-Holstein: blue-white-red; North Rhine-Westphalia: green-white-red) or to other historical color schemes.
