Use of the flag

In Strasbourg, the flag which is combining the arms of Upper- and Lower Alsace is flying over the Regional Council together with the French flag and the European flag of course. The Regional Council has no specific flag.

This flag might have existed in the past, but I only saw it in flag catalogues.
