The flag of the Federal Republic of Germany has a 5:3 aspect ratio and is a tricolor with black, red and gold from top to bottom. Among them, black, red and gold are the symbols of the Germanic peoples, who believe that black represents a rigorous and solemn character, red represents the enthusiasm of the people to fight for freedom, and gold symbolizes the immortal truth.
The coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Germany is a golden shield depicting a black eagle with a red beak and red claws. The black, red and gold color scheme echoes the national flag. The eagle has been revered by Europeans since ancient times. As early as the Roman Empire, the eagle was seen as the embodiment of God. The Holy Roman Empire, which regarded itself as the inheritance of the orthodoxy of the Roman Empire, also chose the double-headed black eagle wearing a crown as the national emblem design. In modern Germany, people still have a strong sense of identity with the black eagle, so they chose to remove one of the heads of the eagle from the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire and remove the crown from the head. This shows both that modern Germany is a continuation of the Holy Roman Empire, and that it is humble and not arrogant.
