The Bavarian flag features the iconic white-and-blue lozenges (Rautenflagge), one of the most recognisable sub-national flags in Europe. At least 21 complete lozenges are visible, with a white lozenge in the upper-hoist corner.
Bavaria's flag uses blue and white, the colours of the Wittelsbach dynasty. These colours have represented Bavaria since the 12th century. Bavaria maintains a distinct identity within modern Germany.
