History of The Flag of Luxembourg
The origins of Luxembourg's flag date back to the 19th century. The tricolor was first officially adopted on June 23, 1972, but its colors have been associated with the Grand Duchy since the 13th century, representing the House of Luxembourg. The flag's design, closely resembling the Netherlands' due to shared historical connections, has been a symbol of Luxembourg's national identity and independence. Over the years, there have been discussions about its similarity to the Dutch flag, but the Luxembourgish people have continued to embrace their flag's unique identity and significance.
