Flag of Luxembourg

History of the Luxembourg Flag

Luxembourg stands out as a different country in terms of its history. The country has been exploited for many years by many colonial civilisations throughout its history. Luxembourg is not among the countries that make up Belgium, the Netherlands and Benelux. Luxembourg has been a member of NATO since 1949. In addition, the fact that the capital of the country has obtained the status of World Cultural Centre since 2007 has made the country valuable in the European continent..

Luxembourg Flag Meaning

The official flag of Luxembourg has many features. The most striking of these features is that the flag is directly inspired by the official flag of France. Therefore, there are many similarities between the official flag of France and the official flag of Luxembourg. When the flag of the country is closely examined, it can be observed that it is extremely detailed. For this reason, the official flag of Luxembourg is designed mostly in striped stripes. The flag of the country is formed in a total of 3 different stripes in blue, red and white colour tones. The red colour tone on the flag represents the history of the country and the blood spilled as a result of its struggles throughout its history. The white colour tone represents peace throughout the country. It is stated that this colour tone also symbolises freedom. The blue colour tone symbolises the sky, as emphasised in many historical sources.
