Contains:Reminder Report, o.D. (probably written after No. 130, about Sept. 1934): The proverbial disunity of the Germans after the annihilation of the state order in 1918 prevented a joint effort from being made to eliminate chaos. Although the monarchy was completely excluded in view of the development of things and the people had unequivocally given their opinion in free elections to the National Convention, many were not satisfied with the fact that a people's regime could not be circumvented. Even more than the RV, the national colours were mocked. It was overlooked that black-red-gold was especially appreciated in Austria: They so11t be the colors under which the great German state expected with longing grows and blossoms so11te (p. 1). Trimborn had been guided by these thoughts when choosing the colours. Marx experienced in 1926 in Vienna how the Christian Social Party got into a flurry of excitement when the Reichsbanner with the flag took part in a parade of the SPO. The RP decree of 5 May 1926 on the introduction of the merchant flag next to the Reich flag at Reich authorities overseas created an unexpectedly large opposition in the RT (p. 2). A letter from the RP on May 9 and Luther's speech on May 11 could not dampen the excitement, and Luther fell. I had to take over the inheritance.

In the introduction of an imperial war flag one even wanted to recognize a violation of the constitution. After on 20.5.21 the Prussia. After the Higher Administrative Court had declared the municipal service buildings to be flagged for a self-administration matter, Preuß issued an order on 1 August 21. Reg. an - in its legal validity to be denied - emergency regulation in this question. The fight came to life once again when Min.-President Braun had those hotels boycotted which - like Adlon in particular - did not show the imperial flag on official occasions. The Berliner Hotels association then gave in. By a decree of act. 1927 the prussian government became the prussian government. Officials are only allowed to attend events if the Reich flag has been given the necessary honor. Lord Mayor Adenauer and Reg. Vice President v. Harnack had dignifiedly enforced the respect for the imperial flag in the Gürzenich at an event of the German Warfare Community in Cologne on 12.1.21 (p.4). The honouring of the imperial colours was in no way an affront or a defamation of the old signs; it is a national duty to honour the new and to respect the old. Before foreigners, Marx was often ashamed of the right-wing circles' abuse of the Empire's colours: "And in doing so, the circles that deserved the epithet "nnational" in particular wanted to be!
