455. What are the colors of the state (Land) flag of Thuringia?

Answer options

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

Explanation

Thuringia’s Land colours are white and red; accordingly, the state flag is a horizontal bicolor of white over red, while the service flag additionally bears the Land coat of arms. These specifications are laid down in the Constitution of the Free State of Thuringia and in the Land statute on official emblems. Historically, the colours hark back to the traditions of the medieval Landgraviate of Thuringia, were adopted for the newly formed Free State in 1920, and were reinstated in 1990 after reunification. Within Germany’s federal order, the Basic Law leaves competence for Land symbols to the Länder (while Article 22 GG separately defines the federal flag), underscoring their statehood.
