The flag of Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerger Fändel,
German: Flagge Luxemburgs, French: Drapeau du Luxembourg) consists of three
horizontal stripes, red, white and blue, and can be in 1:2 or 3:5 ratio. It was
first used between 1845 and 1848 and officially adopted on 23 June 1972.
Luxembourg had no flag until 1830, when patriots were urged
to display the national colors. The flag was defined as a horizontal tricolor
of red, white, and blue in 1848, but it was not officially adopted until 1972.
The tricolor flag is almost identical to Flag of the Netherlands, except that
it is longer and its blue stripe and red stripe are a lighter shade. The red,
white, and blue colors were derived from the coat of arms of the House of
Luxembourg.
