Introduction

I have seen three different kinds of SPD flags in recent times:

  • Red flag with large 'SPD' centered (image at the top). This was used during a demonstration in Dortmund in March 2001, as seen in a photo in Internet.
  • Vertical red flag (flapping flag) with large 'SPD' somewhat shifted to the top. This is flown on the SPD headquarters in Berlin.
  • Red flag with 'SPD' and beneath 'Bayern'. This is the flag used by the Bayern-SPD (the Bavarian branch of the SPD) at their headquarters in Munich.
It was not possible up to now to get definitive informations from the SPD headquarters on the flags. As with other (bigger as well as smaller) parties they either ignore requests for information or they simply tell you about their logo. The word 'flag' does obviously not exist in their vocabulary.
