Показать описание

The "National Anthem of the Republic of Austria" (Austrian German: "Bundeshymne der Republik Österreich", lit. 'Federal Hymn of [the] Republic [of] Austria'), also known by its incipit "Land der Berge, Land am Strome"; English: "Land of mountains, land by the river"), is the national anthem of Austria.

The flag of Austria (Austrian German: Flagge Österreichs) is the flag of the nation of Austria. It consists of three bands of color in the following order: red, white, and red. The Austrian flag is considered one of the oldest national symbols still in use by a modern country, with its first recorded use in 1230. The Austrian triband originated from the arms of the Babenberg dynasty. As opposed to other flags, such as the black-and-yellow banner of the Habsburgs, the red-white-red flag was from very early on associated, not with a reigning family or monarch, but with the country itself.
