Why?
The provincial flag is red at the top and gold at the bottom, and on the gold shield of the coat of arms a red eagle stands on a black rock. Saint Martin is the patron saint of the province, which is why 11 November is the provincial holiday; “Land der Berge, Land am Strome” (“Land of mountains, land by the river”) is Austria’s national anthem.
