Answer options

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

Explanation

The state flag of Saxony-Anhalt is yellow-black (gold-black); the official service flag additionally bears the state coat of arms. The palette derives from Ascanian heraldry and the historic Duchy of Anhalt; the arms also combine the Saxon gold‑and‑black barry with the green crancelin. As state emblems, the flag and arms are legally regulated by the state constitution and the Law on the State’s Emblems of Saxony-Anhalt. Within Germany’s federal order, Article 28 of the Basic Law empowers the Länder to adopt their own symbols, provided their constitutional order adheres to republican, democratic, and social rule‑of‑law principles.
