WHILE DOING THE RESEARCH ABOUT THE FLAG OF MY OWN COUNTRY FOR THIS SERIES, I REALIZED THAT I KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE GERMAN FLAG! MY FORMER HISTORY TEACHERS NEVER MANAGED TO MAKE THE SUBJECT INTERESTING FOR ME, BUT ONE MAIN REASON FOR ME TO MAKE THIS SERIES WAS EXACTLY TO CATCH UP JUST A LITTLE BIT ;)  
  
MEANING OF THE FLAG COLOURS:  
  
1. HISTORICALLY:  
THE GERMAN NATIONAL COLOURS ORIGINATE AT THE TIME OF THE LIBERATION STRUGGLE AGAINST NAPOLEON IN 1813. AMONG THE ALLIES WERE A LOT OF SMALL STATES IN WHAT IS NOW GERMANY, AND IN ORDER TO SHOW UNITY AGAINST THE OPPRESSION, THE FIGHTERS WORE ALL B L A C K UNIFORMS WITH R E D FACINGS AND G O L D E N BUTTONS. THE COMMON GOAL OF LIBERATION STRENGTHENED THE FEELING OF TOGETHERNESS TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE THE START OF THE IDEA TO FORM A GERMAN NATION, ALTHOUGH IT TOOK A LOT MORE DECADES AND EFFORTS UNTIL THAT WAS FINALLY PUT INTO ACTION.  
  
2. SYMBOLISM:  
THE FOLLOWING IS AN A POSTERIORI INTERPRETATION OF THE COLOURS WHICH REMINDS OF THE STRUGGLES AGAINST NAPOLEON:  
| BLACK: OPPRESSION, BONDAGE  
| RED: (BLOODY) FIGHTS AGAINST THE OPPRESSOR  
| GOLD: THE "GOLDEN LAND" OF LIBERTY AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL STRUGGLE.  
  
IN MY OPINION, THIS SYMBOLIC INTERPRETATION CAN VERY WELL BE GENERALIZED FOR DAILY LIFE:  
| BLACK: UNSATISFACTORY SITUATION  
| RED: ENERGY FOR CHANGING SOMETHING  
| GOLD: THE REWARD FOR THE EFFORT: MORE HAPPINESS, BETTER LIFE!  
  
MY PERSONAL CONCLUSION:  
HISTORY TEACHERS? I WANT MY GRADES TO BE CHANGED SUBSEQUENTLY! :D
