>As indicated in the note above, the principal PoD behind this flag back in 2016 was that the Grand Duchy receiving the Trier region after World War I due to the fact that [they shared the same varieties of Moselle Franconian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moselfrankisch.png); currently, I thought that b[oth territories would be part of a single country, but as a member of the Gallophone [(Modern) Gaulish]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Germania_70-es.svg), although being part of (the Gaulish-speaking) Wallonia wouldn’t be implausible at all. Either way, the Grand Duchy would become the principal destination of the Transylvanian Saxons/Gauls in the mid-1960s.
why should we add an element of Trier to our flag?!
*urgs* the area where the red horizontal part meets the blue one… horrible. Different thickness, not in line, … the lion vertically not in the middle.
from a design perspective the flag looks very chaotic.
Yes… but no.
I am having issues to understand what you’re trying to achieve with this hideous, lacking of sense, unrequested idea of a flag!

**NOTE:** While this flag was posted for the [very first time in my DeviantArt last 22nd of January 2016](https://www.deviantart.com/ramones1986/art/Flag-of-an-alternate-Luxembourg-585977978), there is actually difference between that era and of today, and I’m talking from the alternate history PoV.
**DESCRIPTION:**
>The design of the alternate Luxembourgish flag is basically a combination of three elements: a variant of [St. George’s Cross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_George%27s_Cross.svg), representing the [Electorate/Bishopric of Trier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wappen_Bistum_Trier.png) (courtesy of [David Liuzz](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:David_Liuzzo)o), the [blue-and-white stripes claimed to be used by the early Luxembourgish dukes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blason_ville_fr_Lusignan-Petit_47.svg), and [*Roude Léiw* (Red Lion), derived from the Duchy of Limburg](https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Modern_Arms_of_Limburg.svg) (created by Wikipedia Commons user [Sodacan](https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sodacan)). In summary, the ATL variation of [the country’s civil and naval ensign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Civil_Ensign_of_Luxembourg.svg).
