State and war flag, size: 150 x 90 cm

With the North German Confederation, in 1866 a federal army was formed too, that from 1871 on was called the Reichsheer. For the individual German states, war flags were actually no longer necessary. The war flag of Prussia remained important, however, because it became the state flag, so to say, the use of it was reserved for offices and authorities, provided that they did not have their own flags. It was allowed by cabinet order from 6th of July in 1863 to use the flag as follows: from all ships of the Prussian military administration, in the area of ​​inland navigation, on all Prussian state buildings (except buildings of sea shipping), from all yachts, boats and properties of the royal house, from all fortresses and forts. It was also allowed to be used (like the merchant flag) by inner German embassies and consulates. The eagle received a new design on 8th of November in 1892. These regulations were officially maintained until the end of the Kingdom of Prussia in November 1918, but at least until the introduction of the new Prussian flag on 5th of July in 1922.
