Red stands for bravery, valor, and the strength of the Austrian people during oppression and unrest. White stands for peace and honesty. There's on e legend that tells of why we used the red stripe, white stripe, red stripe pattern. Duke Leopold IV of Austria was fighting in a crusade, and his battle dress got completely soaked in blood. When he took his belt off, that section of his dress was completely white because no blood had gotten on it. That was believed to be the reason why. Our flag is also one of the oldest designs of national flags in the world.
