Summary

Reichststurmfahne (military banner used by the Holy Roman Emperor during ca. 1200-1350).

The Reichssturmfahne was not a flag, but a banner. Meyer's Lexikon of 1897 says s. v. Banner: " [...] When investing a fief, the Emperor had together with this Imperial banner in black and yellow a second banner in red for the investion with penal judicature. This is probably the reason of combining the colours black, red and yellow to form a tricolor against the rules of heraldry...The Reichssturmfahne was smaller than the Imperial banner, more like a chaffron... [...] The banner of the Holy Empire bore a cross even before 1200; it is the St. George's banner... Emperor Friedrich III took the cross officially as part of the Imperial arms, but some of his successors did not use it." <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.fotw.net/flags/de_roman.html">A.
