Flag of Bohemia

Flag of Bohemia

The Flag of Bohemia is a historic flag, which now forms part of the design in the modern flag of the Czech Republic. The flag itself, a horizontal bicolour, was based on the colours of the former monarchs of Bohemia.

Use and history

The Bohemian flag was used as the flag of the Czech Republic (ČSFR) as part of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic (1990 - 1992) [Constitutinal act on the state symbols of the Czech Republic 67/1990 Coll.] . Flag was adopted in reaction to adoption of separate Slovak symbols. In the Czech part of the dualist republic the flag saw much less use than the wider flag of Czechoslovakia. Whereas the flag of Slovakia (then without coat of arms and thus identical to flag of the WWII Slovak Republic [Constitutinal act on the name, coat of arms, flag, seal and anthem of the Slovak Republic 50/1990 Coll.] ) was widely used in Slovak part. This difference mirrored prevailing separatist tendencies in the Slovak Republic and federalist tendencies in the Czech Republic.

The flag currently has no legal status and is practically never seen today in the Czech Republic.
