Germany is a country rich in national customs, many of which have to do with traditions hundreds of years old. After you've lived in the country for a while, you'll find that the best way to make friends and get along in general with the people of your host country is to respect and understand these rules of their culture. Some may involve signs of politeness, while others refer to expected behavior. Whatever the case, a knowledge of the basics will allow you to enjoy the differences that "living abroad" in Germany has to offer.

The flag of Germany was re-adopted on May 23, 1949; it had been Germany's flag beginning in 1848 until 1871. In 1919, Germany became a republic and the black, red and gold flag was reinstated - until the Nazis took power in 1933. In 1949 (after World War 2), the flag was again adopted as the flag of West Germany in 1990, Germany was reunited.

The German flag is a horizontal tricolor, with black, red, and yellow stripes. The colors of the flag were the colors of the German soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars.
