Actually, the German Empire flag of the second empire was a union jack of Prussia and the Hanse cities. Since the southern states just joined the northern union after the german-french war, their flag's weren't represented in the imperial flag (like e.g. wales isn't in the uk's union jack). The modern German tricolour is no union jack but rather a simpified version of the insignia (black eagle, with red claws and toungue on a golden background - black-red-gold). Plus, the german uniforms in the Freikorbs during the March revolution against Napoleon B. had those colours too when that tricolour was created.
