Liechtenstein Flag and Meaning

Flag of Liechtenstein

Flag of Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein Flag Meaning

The colors blue and red in the Liechtenstein flag probably originate in the official clothes worn by the servants at the court in the 18th century. When their absolute monarchy was transformed into a constitutional monarchy on October 5, 1921, a red and blue flag was adopted.

After Liechtenstein participated in the 1936 Olympic Games, their team saw that the country’s flag looked exactly the same as Haiti’s flag, and next year, on June 24, the decision was made to add the crown to the flag. The crown is a princely crown, as the land is a principality. In 1982, a minor modification was made to the crown’s appearance.
