Mecklenburg Mecklenburg, besides Bavaria and a few others, is among the few territories that remained pretty much the same and relatively independent since the end of the Middle Age. Mecklenburg, located in Northern Germany, was a duchy within the Holy Roman Empire, later a Grand Duchy, then a state, and now part of the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Mecklenburg contributed about two thirds of the geograpical size of the new state, and also the majority of the population. www.yotor.com /wiki/en/me/Mecklenburg.htm

Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 304, MECKLENBURG: Library of Economics and Liberty Mecklenburg was obliged to submit to the law of equality of religions decreed by the constitution of the empire. But the forced connection of Mecklenburg with the tariff system of the empire has abolished the transit dues; it is true, however, that by the same act the grand duchies were relieved from various expenditures. The capital, Neustrelitz, does not appoint a deputy, and if, nevertheless, it is treated officially as a city, this is in opposition to the spirit of the political language of the country. www.econlib.org /library/YPDBooks/Lalor/llCy695.html

Historical Flags (Mecklenburg, Germany) The traditional flag of Mecklenburg was the blue-yellow-red one, used in the past by both entities, and kept in use by both after 1918 (approved 24th May 1923 for Mecklenburg-Strelitz). Mecklenburg-Schwerin was a coastal province and, as in the past, a civil ensign was adopted with the colours blue-white-red, which were the colours of Rostock — thus with a different origin with respect to the colours of the State flag. So the flag for both Mecklenburgs was the blue-yellow-red (and it always had been so), while Mecklenburg-Schwerin had also a blue-white-red civil ensign which is the flag usually reproduced on old charts and books dealing with maritime flags. www.crwflags.com /fotw/flags/de-mv_hi.html
