flags on sale now

"The black-red-yellow tricolour flag has been used at least three times in the history of Germany. It was adopted in 1848, and abolished in 1852; readopted as the flag of the Weimar Republic on August 11th 1919, and abolished and replaced by the Third Reich flag March 12th 1933. It was finally readopted as the modern German flag on 8 May 1949. It was used by the German Democratic Republic until 1959, but had added to it a coat of arms from 1959 to 1989, when the Germanies were reunited." (see here)

People here didn't used to have the Bundesflagge (federal flag) in their houses and gardens. Until now: the supermarkets are selling them for little money and that's enough to buy them ...

[edit: further explanation]
there is a plague-alike spreading of flags going on in this country these days ... you can see them all around ... they are beautifying cars, gardens, balconys, facades ... this might be common to other countries, especially when hosting a soccer fifa 2006 championship (do I have to pay to FIFA now?) ... but in general it has not been common for appr. 65 years in (west) germany ... and it feels very strange to have them all around ... that's what this picture is about ... and its about supermarkets that made all this happen by selling flags for little money ...
