Theflag of Saxony-Anhalt is a yellow and black bi-color, with thestate'scoat of arms centered on the flag.
Black and yellow were the colors of thePrussian Province of Saxony and thepre-1952 State of Saxony-Anhalt, but on 29 January 1991 the traditional order of the colors was reversed to distinguish the flag from the black-over-yellow bi-color ofBaden-Württemberg. This was then enshrined in the state constitution of 17 July 1992, where Article 1 deals with the state symbols.
From 1991 to 2017, the flag had two major variants: a plain bi-color as thecivil flag and the current flag as thestate flag.[1]
