During its colonial period, Germany had several colonies in Africa, the Pacific Islands, and China. Each of these colonies had its own flag, reflecting both the German imperial colors and symbols unique to the colony.
Some examples of German colony flags are:
German East Africa (present-day Tanzania, Burundi, and Rwanda): The flag featured a white disc on a red background, with a smaller black disc in the center, which represented the Kaiser's eagle.
German South-West Africa (present-day Namibia): The flag was similar to the German East Africa flag but with a coat of arms in the center, which depicted a golden sun rising over a blue sea.
German New Guinea (present-day Papua New Guinea): The flag had a black, white, and red vertical tricolor on the left, and a white circle with a black eagle on a yellow background on the right.
German Samoa (present-day Samoa and American Samoa): The flag had horizontal stripes of black, white, and red, and featured a white circle with a black eagle on a blue background.
These flags were used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until Germany lost its colonies after World War I. Today, some of these flags are used in a historical context and can be seen in museums or in the flags of modern-day countries that were once German colonies.
