Bavaria w/ Coat of Arms (Lions) Flag
Due to their long independence (until 1871), Bavarians have always maintained a strong national identity. Their culture and mentality are very distinct from the rest of Germany. Noteworthy differences (especially in rural areas, less significant in the major cities) can be found with respect to:
Religion: Particularly in Southern Bavaria the predominant faith is Roman Catholicism, contrasting with the more Lutheran Northern Bavaria. This is expressed by the typical Bavarian and Austrian greeting: "Grüß Gott!" ("I greet you in the name of God"). The current pope, Benedict XVI (Joseph Alois Ratzinger), was born in Marktl am Inn in Upper Bavaria.
Attitude to traditions: In contrast to many other regions of Germany, where traditions are often associated with being backward, Bavarians are proud of their traditions. Traditional costume is worn on special occasions, century-old folk music is practised and dialect songs and poems are taught in nursery schools. The May Poles (which in the Middle Ages served as the community's yellow pages, as figurettes on the pole represent the trades of the village), and the bagpipes in the Upper Palatinate region bear witness to the strong Celtic heritage of the region.
All flags banners are two-sided and come standard with two metal grommets. They are easily mounted on a flag pole or used as a wall hanging. The flags we sell are typically 14% - 64% heavier and are better stitched to assure durability.
