Alliance 90-The Greens don't use flags very frequently. The Bavarian branch does have one or a few of the flags (as shown on FOTW). However, up to now I have always seen flags with a plain reverse (i.e. there is nothing printed on the reverse, only on the obverse).
The Berlin branch of the party (Alternative Liste Berlin),
that has a remarkable autonomy in the party, seems to use a different flag
with a hedgehog.

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen sent me an e-mail with information on the
party flag. The flag is actually just an enlarged party logo. It has been
used for several years during major party events. I found some pictures
on Internet, where two prominent green politicians took part in a Christopher
Street Day demonstration, on their truck there were two of the party
flags as a decoration. After these pictures I made the image above. Further
pictures of the logo etc. can be found at the Bündnis
90/Die Grünen website.

The Green Party (Grüne Partei) was established 1980 and was called
in short simply The Greens (Die Grünen). The party was a union of
citizen initiatives and ecological groups. The Greens had a completely
green flag with their logo of a sunflower and the white inscription Die
Grünen.

In the city-states of Berlin and Hamburg,
the Green Party was not present, ecological ideas being
supported there by the Alternative List Berlin (Alternative Liste (Berlin))
and the Green Alternative List Hamburg (Grüne Alternative Liste (Hamburg)).
The Berlin Alternative List flew a blue flag with in the middle a white
hedgehog on a green base.

In May 1993 the Green Party (including the Alternative
List Berlin and the Green Alternative List Hamburg) and Alliance 90
joined into Alliance 90/The Greens (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen).

![[Alliance 90/The Greens, flag variant]](../images/d/de}b90g1.gif)

Alliance 90/The Greens used a white flag with in the centre the logo:
a blue and a green horizontal stripes, surrounded by a wreath of sunflower
yellow leaves. On the stripes the names of both original parties in white
lettering. As variation, a flag of the Alliance 90-The Greens is used without
the white border.

One of the problems with German party flags is that there are always
variants available, either homemade or made somewhere more centrally. One
never knows if these are official or semi-official variants,
or old variants etc. If they are old variants, they would be used until
unserviceable. You wouldn't get any good information from the party headquarters
on the flag variants.

The Green Party in Germany (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) is showing an own variant of the Flag of Bavaria on some posters für the communal election campaign. Blue is exchanged with green, in the middle the CoA of Bavaria. The slogan is "Damit Bayern grüner wird" (to make Bavaria greener), check here.
Bavaria has been ruled by the conservative CSU for decades now. The
Green party got only 7,7% at the last state election.
I added an green edited image, original image of Marcus Schmöger.
