HistoryThe colours of the Flag of Luxembourg have first been branded around 1830 during the belgian Revolution. They have probably been adopted from the shield of the Province of Limbourg, the only difference is the background who has been changed into silver with blue stripes. The three-coloured horizontal design has been fixed on June 12th 1845. It took until June 23rd 1972 before a law has been passed regulating the flag of Luxembourg. In this same law there has also been fixed the flag/shield for aircraft and ships registered in Luxembourg. One important clarification brought by this law: the colour blue has been determined as being a very bright blue, in contrast to the flag of the Netherlands (exactly the same design, except dark blue). For ships and aircraft the Roude Léiw has become the official ensign. Coat of ArmsMissing image Wopenlu.gif Coat of Arms, Luxembourg The coat of arms is probably an adaptation of the coat of arms of the Province of Limbourg in Belgium. The red lion appears there, only the background has been changed from yellow and red stripes to silver and blue stripes.
