The Höhere Kommunalverbände (higher communal associations) in Baden-Württemberg are two Landeswohlfahrtsverbände corresponding basically to the former states of Württemberg and Baden. The Landeswohlfahrtsverband Baden uses the traditional flag of Baden, a horizontal triband of yellow-red-yellow. This flag, used by the Land Baden until it became part of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, is used without legal prescription.
