About FlagGeek

FlagGeek is a digital archive and documentation platform for historical flags – with a special focus on original textile flags from approximately 1880 to 1945. Each flag in the archive is documented with images, dimensions, material analysis, hoist details, markings, and historical context. The platform is independent and based on private discoveries and systematic research.

All entries follow a consistent structure, enabling direct comparison across periods and types. Both HTML and PDF versions are created and locked for each flag profile, and all images are verified for authenticity. The focus is not on decoration – but on preservation, analysis, and historical accuracy.

FlagGeek is not a store and not a typical blog. It is a digital archive and collector’s project, created by a private enthusiast specializing in flags from the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, and the early NS period – as well as selected foreign flags in maritime and colonial contexts.

Method and structure

• 🔍 Each flag is documented with high-resolution images in a fixed order
• 📐 Dimensions and markings are measured and visually shown
• 📄 HTML and PDF versions are issued as locked master copies
• 🧵 Material analysis and historical assessment are included in every description
• 📚 A source list accompanies each documentation

The documentation is intended for long-term preservation and scholarly reference. All entries are written in semantic HTML with no external styling or scripts, and image files are stored in stable formats. No AI-generated images or synthetic reconstructions are used. All content is based on real flags in private ownership or archive material.
