Austrian flag

Vienna's national banner

The Austrian flag is a horizontal triband of red, white, and red—one of the oldest national flags in the world.

According to legend, the design originated when Duke Leopold V's white tunic was soaked in blood during battle, leaving only a white stripe where his belt had been.

The Austrian flag flew over the embassy.
