history

The colors probably have their origin in the colors of the uniforms at the Liechtenstein royal court in the 18th century. The princely hat was only added in 1937, because the Liechtenstein team , namely the sports functionary Eduard Alexandrowitsch von Falz-Fein , saw at the 1936 Summer Olympics that the flag was otherwise identical to the flag of Haiti . The representation of the princely hat was slightly modified in 1982.
