The flag of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) was the same as that of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) from establishment of the state in 1949 until 1959. The East German Coat of Arms was added to the national flag in 1959 to distinguish it from the West German flag. It contains a hammer (symbolizing workers), and a compass (symbolizing intellectuals) inside ears of grain (symbolizing farmers).
