Flag abolished 4th January 1882

This is the older standard of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. Source: Siebmacher 1878. (...) It follows the Scandinavian tradition, Landesflagge with the arms on the cross [cf. the Danish royal standard]. Oldenburg was closely related to Denmark, the Danish royal and Oldenburg grand ducal houses are branches of the same family.
