Flag of North Rhine-Westphalia, as Adopted1953 (in use from 1948) Landesdienstflagge
The civil flag with the addition of the coat of arms. The flag of the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia is a horizontal tricolor consisting of green, white and red.
After the establishment of North Rhine-Westphalia in 1946, the tricolor was first introduced in 1948, but was not formally adopted until 1953. The plain variant of the tricolor is considered the civil flag and state ensign, while government authorities use the state flag which includes the state's coat of arms.
The flag is a combination of the two former provinces of Prussia that comprise most of the state: the Rhine Province and Westphalia. The same flag was used by the Rhenish Republic (1923-1924) as a symbol of independence and freedom.
