Flag and Symbols
 
 Flag
The German flag - the tricolore - was designed in 1832. The black, red and gold were taken from the uniforms of German soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars.

Coat of Arms
The country's coat of arms (featuring a dominate eagle) is said to have orginated around 1200.
Over the centuries many variations have been adopted for military and political reasons, but the eagle has remained as the central theme. The modern seal features the same colors as the German flag. The eagle is also used on the German one Euro and two Euro coins.
National Anthem Das Lied der Deutschen (third stanza), music by Joseph Haydn; lyrics by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallerslebem.
National Holiday October 3 (German Unity Day) is celebrated to commemorate the anniverary of the incorporation (or reunification) of 'East Germany' into 'West Germany.' All major public holidays in Germany are listed here!
National Motto Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit (Unity and Justice and Freedom)
