The region now covered by the Principality of Liechtenstein was first occupied during the Neolithic Period and has been an independent state under the rule of the Princely House of Liechtenstein since 1719.
The Liechtensteiners are descended from the Alemanni tribe that came into the region after A.D. 500. Founded in 1719, Liechtenstein was a member of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866, when it became an independent principality. It abolished its army in 1868 and has managed to stay neutral and undamaged in all European wars since then.
Traditionally, flags of territories ruled by royalty in Europe have corresponded to the “livery colors†of the ruler’s coat of arms. The flag of Liechtenstein is an example, however, where the livery colors and the arms are quite different.
The flag of Liechtenstein consist of two horizontal halves - the top half is blue and the bottom is red. In the upper left corner of Liechtenstein's flag, there is a gold crown. In 1937, the head of the government, Joseph Hoop, described the meaning of Liechtenstein's flag as this: "Blue is the color of a radiant sky, red the color of the embers in the fireplace during evening gatherings; gold of the crown shows that our people, our country and our princely House are united in heart and spirit.
The crown stands for the unity of the people and their prince, blue symbolizes the sky, and red is for the evening fires in homes. Further minor modifications were made in the laws of 1957 and September 18, 1982. These laws show the Liechtenstein flag in several different formats.
In addition to the usual horizontal flying flag, there is a square banner and a long, narrow flag that hangs vertically from a crossbar. The crossbar is attached by a cord to a normal pole extended from a building, but the crown points upward regardless of the vertical or horizontal format. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Liechtenstein Flag for the future.
