Flag-stronghold Thuringia: Saale-Orla-Kreis sets new standards!

Jerichower Land, Deutschland - An important step for identity formation at schools is currently undertaken in the Saale-Orla district in Thuringia. In the future, the flags of the district, Thuringia, Germany and the European Union are to blow in front of around 40 public schools. This was decided at the last session, as reported to mdr .

As Färberei , flags must be hoisted at vertically standing masts, and the federal flag has priority with several cities. The following rule applies to just one further flag: The federal flag should blow on the left of the street, the other flag on the right. If a semi -mast setting is necessary, the flag must be prepared accordingly.

The discussion about the flagship of public buildings will certainly ensure conversation in the future. While the first steps in the Saale-Orla district have already been launched, it remains to be seen how this practice will develop in other regions.
