Talk:Flag of Baden-Württemberg

Electorate and first Kingdom flag
I have found no source for the striped black-red flag supposedly used during the Electorate from 1803 to 1806. On the other hand, I have found 2 contemporary sources for the Yellow-Black-Red tricolor being used as far back as 1803. Also, the tricolor was not included for some reason, despite being mentioned in the German version of the article.

The sources for early use of the tricolor are: a mention on the Württemberger newspaper "Schwäbische Chronik", in the edition of 5th of August 1803, 5th page and the 1803 painting by Johann Baptist Seele which depicts the then Elector Frederick II at Monrepos residence, with the flag flowing on the background.

More paintings depict the tricolor being used in places like the Ludwigsburg residence, Emichsburg tower, Monrepos residence but are from later dates such as 1805, 1810, 1815... Oinkuss (talk) 05:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
