Flag of Ærø

The flag originates from Christian, duke of Ærø (a cousin of the Danish king Christian 4th) around 1622 to 1633. The upper and lower yellow and red colors were his colours - while the green in the middle symbolizes the green island: Ærø.

 

The original flag was made from a special, thick, woollen fabric, and its size was 2.83 x 2.75 m (120 x 117 Danish inches).
