HISTORY
Adopted May 1, 1945
Dating back to at least 1230, the Austrian arms
consisted of a red shield with a wide horizontal white bar. The red/white/red
stripes first appeared on the state and war ensign, introduced on January 1,
1787. The red/white/red horizontal two color with no charge was adopted in 1918
as the national flag and in 1921 as the civil ensign. After the German
occupation of 1938-1945, the flag was re-introduced in 1945.
