 | | On August 28th 1797 the Cisrhenian Republic was founded on territory covering the entire German left bank, thus the Prince-Bishoprics of Trier, Mainz, Cologne, the Electorate Palatine, the Duchies of Jülich and Kleve respectively their territories on the left bank, and numerous smaller territories. |
 | | Flag adopted early in 1797 and hoisted in various territories, specifically 28 August 1797 in Cologne, 14 (or 28?) September 1797 in Koblenz, 15 September 1797 in Mainz, 22 September 1797 in Bonn, mostly under the influence of General Hoche, whose French troops had occupied the Rhineland. |
