 The confederation did not have a flag of its own, although the black-red-gold tricolour is sometimes mistakenly attributed to it.Upon returning from the war, veterans of the Lützow Free Corps founded the fraternity in Jena in June 1815.The Jena eventually adopted a flag with three equal horizontal bands of red, black, and red, with gold trim and a golden oak branch across the black band, following the colours of the uniforms of the Free Corps.
