    sono curioso, c’è qualche differenza tra queste due aquile sulle bandiere o no?

      1st one is not official and only tolerated, because the 2nd one is the official crest and must not be used by civilians.

      The second one takes steroids and does a lot of bicep curls.

      The second one is only allowed for certain people and groups within the government, Administration and military.

      Just out of curiosity, what happens if you use the one you aren’t supposed to use and the police decide to bother you about it?

      The first one is the Bundeswappen (the official coat of arms), which is NOT intended to be used on flags

      The second one is the Bundesschild, which IS to be used on the flag. However that flag may only be used by the federal government and its subordinate agencies including the military. That flag is the Bundesdienstflagge.

      Civilians are technically not allowed to use the Bundesdienstflagge and should only use the flag without the eagle. Although courts have ruled by now that civilians can use the Bundesdienstflagge if there is no danger of them being mistaken for federal officials. 

      The flag with the regular coat of arms is not an official flag of Germany. Never has been. But many people like using a flag with the eagle for aesthetics, so they buy that one. And since it’s not officially anything, nobody prosecutes it.

      Adding sources because people seem to have a hard time believing it:

      The first one is the Bundeswappen, if you see it on a flag, it means the flag is nothing official.
      The Second one is the Bundesschild/Bundesdienstflagge and only for official use by Military and other Authorities.
