The Party

Identitarian Movement Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreich), sometimes spelled Identitarian Movement of Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreichs), was founded in 2012. It is modelled after the Identitarian Bloc (Bloc Identitaire) of France.

The Flag

The flags are yellow with a black "Spartan lambda", or the same design with reversed colors. Considering the frequency of appearing on the photos available online, the first of these variants might be used more than the latter. The national flag of Austria is also widely used, as well as the state flags. Another flag which is frequently seen at their rallies looks like the copy of the 1816 flag of Jena Students League (Jenaer Burschenschaft) or the flag from 1817 Wartburg festival. That flag seems to be used by some students associations (Burschenschaften) in Austria which are promoting pan-German ideas and whose members might take part in the Identitarian Movement as well, although the organization does not seem to promote German nationalism as such.
