Austria's national symbol

Austria's national flag is rectangular, and the ratio of length to width is 3: 2. From top to bottom, it is made up of three parallel and equal horizontal rectangles of red, white and red, and the center of the flag is the Austrian national emblem. The origin of this flag can be traced back to the period of the Austrian Grand Duchy. It is said that when the Duke of Babenburg fought fiercely with King Richard I of England, the duke's white uniform was almost completely dyed red with blood, leaving only a white mark on his sword. Since then, the duke's army has adopted red, white and red as the colors of the battle flag.

The central pattern of the Austrian national emblem is a noble black Austrian eagle, which has been used as the Austrian national emblem for 900 years. In the14th century, Byzantine's double-headed eagle pattern was adopted in Austria, and the eagle's outstretched wings symbolized the need to put national security under its wings.
