Meaning of the flag of Liechtenstein
Blue is said to stand for the sky and red for the glow of the fire in people's homes in the evening. The crown represents the prince and the unity of the people with the princely house. It was added in 1937, after the 1936 Olympic Games revealed that Haiti used the same blue and red flag, and the crown's design was updated in 1982.
