Current and Former Alsace Flag

Two men were at the origin of the design of the current flag: Robert Louis, a French heraldic specialist (also specialized in the design of postage stamps) and Jacques Meurgey de Turpigny, curator of the French National Archives.

Like the old 1948 version, this regional flag is a combination of the two historical coats of arms of Alsace, the Lower Alsace and Upper Alsace, just like the Union Jack, which also has different interlocking motifs. The ancient Alsatian flag was created around the 17th century under the former Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages.

The red colour and the white lace pattern (Lower Rhine flag) are the colours of the Counts of Werde who built the famous castle of Werde in the heart of Alsace in Matzenheim in the Lower Rhine a few kilometres from Strasbourg. The yellow and red colours and the six gold crowns are symbols of the Habsburg dynasty of Alsace (also known as the House of Austria) from which many emperors of the Holy Roman Empire came.

Adopted in 2003 by the Alsace Regional Council, it is the civil administrative flag of the two Alsatian departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut Rhin.

Alsace Flag Rot un Wiss

The "Rot un Wiss" flag (literally in Alsatian the red and white) is a two-tone flag composed of two horizontal red and white stripes: the red strip is located in the upper part of the flag. Red and white are two traditional colours in Alsace. Their origins date back to the 11th century and they come from the colours of the Duchy of Lorraine (notably under Gérard d'Alsace, Duke of Lorraine) and take up the colours of the Crusader chivalry. This historical flag has determined many other coats of arms of cities such as the badges of major Alsatian cities such as Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Munster, Selestat and Ensiheim for example.
