History

The flag of Prague has a rectangular sheet with an aspect ratio of 2:3 and two equally horizontal horizontal stripes, yellow above red. It was created in connection with the preparation of the Jubilee Provincial Exhibition in 1891, when the royal capital of Prague was preparing a separate pavilion. As early in 1886, the Prague Council decided that the Architect and Painter Bedřich Wachsmann would paint the emblems, colors, and seals of the Prague cities correctly. The Prague archivist Josef Emler determined that the colors of Prague are yellow and red, based on the city's emblem. The flag was adopted at the same year.[1][2][3]
