Description

Rendsburg is a city, the seat of Rendsburg-Eckernförde county. The Hauptsatzung of Rendsburg, available online here, says:

§ 1
Wappen, Flagge und Siegel
(...)
(2) Die Stadtfarben sind rot-weiß-rot.
(3) Die Stadtflagge zeigt in Weiß die rote Burg des Stadtwappens, etwas zur Stange hin verschoben, oben und unten begleitet von je einem schmalen roten Randstreifen.
which translates to:
(2) The colours of the city are red-white-red.
(3) The flag of the city shows the red castle of the arms in white, slightly shifted towards the hoist, accompanied above and below by a thin red stripe along the edge.
The above image is my interpretation of this specification.

Reported Variant

The flag of Rendsburg is the most southern example of this kind of flag: arms on a white flag.

Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 August 2001

The Hauptsatzung of Rendsburg (...) describes a completely different design though. (...) Did you see any flags matching this description?
