Description of flag:
The white flag is divided by four sinister bendy red stripes. The flag has a white canton with a black serifed capital "T", which is superimposed by a red fessy line.
Note:
Based on a B/W photo the colour of the "T" might be a very dark blue as well. The red colour seems to be sure, because the inescutcheon of the current flag of Hellas Titania is showing just those red sinister bendy stripes, but only three of them.
The club merged with "Berliner Ruder Club Spreehort" in 1930, forming the new rowing club RC "Nibelungen" e.V.
