Custom Piece – national flag of the former country of East Germany – 3D Print for LEGO Minifigure

This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a historical national flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.

As you correctly noted, the original design of the flag is obscured by a watermark. However, based on the Chinese filename, “二德旗子” (Èr Dé qízi), which translates to “East German Flag,” this accessory represents the national flag of the former country of East Germany. East Germany was officially known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and existed from 1949 to 1990 during the Cold War.

The full, unobscured design of the East German flag was:

• A tricolor with three horizontal bands of black, red, and gold, the same as the flag of modern Germany.
• In the center of the red stripe, it was distinguished by the national emblem of the GDR. This emblem was a socialist symbol consisting of a hammer (representing the workers) and a compass (representing the intelligentsia, like engineers), surrounded by a ring of rye (representing the farmers).

The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for historical dioramas of the Cold War, depicting scenes from East Berlin or featuring minifigures of East German soldiers or officials.
