Students and liberals took them up as the colors of a free, united Germany. The Weimar Republic adopted the tricolor in 1919; the Nazi regime replaced it. West Germany restored it on 23 May 1949, East Germany added its own emblem in 1959, and the plain flag became the flag of reunified Germany on 3 October 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlag Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdopted:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1919; restored 23 May 1949\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial proportions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3:5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e black, red, gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVexillographer's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third color is officially gold (\u003cem\u003eGold\u003c\/em\u003e), not yellow, a distinction Germans take seriously.
