Significado de la Bandera

The national flag of Luxembourg is a tricolour flag, that consists of three horizontal stripes; watermelon red, white and light blue, and can be in 2:1 or 5:3 ratio. It was first used between 1845 and 1848 and officially adopted in 1993. The red, white, and light blue colours were derived from the coat of arms of the House of Luxembourg. They were probably derived from the coat of arms of the County and later Duchy of Luxembourg, which in turn was derived from the combination of the lion of the dukes of Limbourg and the supposed striped banner of the early counts of Luxembourg.
