Was sind die Farben der österreichischen Flagge?

  1. Rot-Weiß-Rot
  2. Rot-Weiß-Blau
  3. Blau-Weiß-Rot
  4. Schwarz-Rot-Gold

Why this is the correct answer

Austria's flag displays three horizontal bands of red, white, and red. According to legend, the design originates from Duke Leopold V of Austria, whose white surcoat was soaked in blood during the Battle of Ptolemais in 1191, leaving only a white stripe where his sword belt had been. Whether or not the legend is accurate, the triband has been associated with Austria for over 800 years.
