Bern Flag: Meaning and History

History of the flag

Bern’s flag is both the flag of the canton and the Swiss capital.

Its origins date back to the 13th century. Similarly to the Swiss national flag, the flag of Bern is square.

What do the elements of the flag mean?

According to the legend, Duke of Zähringen, founder of the city, swore that the first animal he would defeat would become the city's emblem — and it was a bear.
Golden yellow represents nobility, strength, and light.
Red (gules) embodies power, courage, and authority.
