Just because I like the idea of the swallow-tail
As for how...
There would certainly be breaking up of Prussia, possibly Austria, maybe even Bavaria (Franconian and Palatinate separatism).
But I think also when it´s democratic, they would it call Reich and not Republik, because they wanted to restore the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation.
The Weimar Republic was also called Deutsches Reich, German Empire
But I´m not sure if it would be Bundeskanzler or Reichskanzler then, depends on if the new united Germany is an united centralistic nation (Frankfurt as capital) or a federation.
Are the third flags in row 2 and 3 references to the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order by any chance? The inner cross kind of reminds me of it, anyway.
Could thou just explain to me the symbolism of the oak twig and acorn? I find it pretty interesting, especially since the oak's also the symbol of province where I live. ^^
Since the 19th century oak-leafes are used as military decorations in the german army.
I´m sure the Jenaer studen´ts league (Burschenschaft) used it because of that, as a symbol of the old germanic ancestors.
From the site Flags of the World:
"During the 1813 war against Napoleon there was a free corps called Lützowsche Jäger (Lützow's Rifles), soldiers - especially students - which became pioneers of the national movement. They wore black tunics with red facings. From these colours the first flag of the student movement Jenaer Burschenschaft after the war was inspired: Gules, a fess Sable, an oak branch Or i.e. red with a black stripe and a yellow oak branch. However black-red-gold would not only stay as colours of a student movement, they were to become the German national colours.
