Alsace: Meaning and History

History of the flag

The Alsatian flag appeared in the 1970s and 1980s with the creation of the Alsace region.

It consists of a superposition of the coats of arms of Upper and Lower Alsace.

What do the elements of the flag mean?

The crowns represent the Habsburg dynasty (Haut-Rhin).
The white band decorated on either side with lace is the symbol of the Counts of Werd (Bas-Rhin).
Red and white embody strength and peace respectively, and are the traditional colours of Alsace.
