Description

Vorarlberg Flag

Red over white, with the Montfort banner: the flag of Vorarlberg

This flag is split into two equal horizontal stripes: red above, white below. In the centre stands the state's coat of arms on a white shield: a red banner with three red rings along its top edge and three tabs with black fringes.

What the state constitution says

The Vorarlberg constitution says that the arms of the state are the red Montfort banner on a silver shield and that the colours of the state are red and white. A teaching text on the state symbols, published on Vorarlberg's educational media site, adds that the state flag is two equal horizontal stripes, the upper red and the lower white, and that the same flag with the state arms in the middle serves as the state's service flag.

A banner and no animal

The same text says this is the only arms of an Austrian state with no heraldic animal. It goes back to the arms of the counts palatine of Tübingen, who before 1200 carried a red flag in a gold shield. The arms passed to the counts of Montfort, who changed the shield to silver. Since 1918 the state has used only the red banner of the counts of Montfort in a silver shield.

The colours

The state colours match the mantle of the arms granted by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1863 and the colours of its heart shield. Until the constitution of 1923 fixed them, they were used «unofficially».

Who chooses it

For anyone from Vorarlberg, Bregenz, Dornbirn or the Bregenzerwald, or with roots there, for those who live far away and carry their state with them, for clubs, schools, lake-side businesses and mountain huts, and for lovers of Austria. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
