The current flag, first used in the 1848 revolution, was adopted in its present form on 11 August 1919 in the constitution of the Weimar Republic.[1] The flag was scrapped when the Nazi party came to power in 1933, only to be reinstated in 1949 separately by the two newly-formed German states.[2][3] The flags of both West and East Germany were identical until 1959 when socialist symbols were added to the flag of the German Democratic Republic,[4] and the East German flag remained that way until the dissolution of the GDR in 1990. Following the reunification of Germany on 1990-10-03, the black-red-gold tricolour continued to be used as the flag of the united German nation.
