Topic: Austrian flag


  
  Flag of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to legend, the flag was invented by Duke Leopold V of Austria (1157-1194) while he was involved in a fierce battle during the Crusades.
In fact, the flag was designed in the 13th century by Frederick II, Duke of Austria (1210-1246; known as 'Frederick the Quarrelsome'), the last of the Babenberg dynasty.
The oldest source for the new flag is contained in a seal kept in the monastery of Lilienfeld (Lower Austria), dated November 30, 1230.

 Hanging Flags Vertically
When a flag is displayed on a wall, or in a similar situation where only one side of the flag can be seen, it is common for there to be one side of the flag which meant to be visible, rather than the other.
For example, the US flag is hung vertically with the reverse showing so that the canton is at the viewer's left (bearer's/speaker's right), but when it is placed on a coffin the obverse is visible, as the honour position is considered to be the deceased's upper left.
If the flag is hoisted vertically indoors, or in a place where it is obvious what is the 'right side' for the viewers (e.g., just behind an outdoor stage) the flag should be hoisted with the canton to the viewers' left.
