The Flag of Vienna, or Wien in German, is the official banner representing the federal state (Bundesland) of Vienna, Austria. Adopted on February 1, 1972, the flag consists of three equal horizontal bands of white, red, and white. The central band, which is red, features a golden (yellow) coat of arms of the City of Vienna, symbolizing unity and protection. This design reflects the city’s status as both a federal state and the capital of Austria. The flag serves various purposes, such as being flown on public buildings, used in civic ceremonies, and displayed during official events within Vienna.
