The Pennsylvania German flag was designed by a committee of members of the Groossdaadi Grundsau Lodge (Grandfather Groundhog Lodge): Carl D. Snyder, Peter V. Fritsch, Richard K. Miller, and Sterling G. Zimmerman. It was dedicated at the Allentown Court House on October 6, 1989, exactly 306 years after the Concord, represented by the ship in the keystone, landed in Philadelphia.
"Liewer Gott im Himmel drin, Loss uns Deitsche was mir sin" is translated: "Dear God in heaven, leave us Germans what we are."
