Rendsburg city

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

Please can you tell me the Castle on the flag of Rendsburg,where is it,and to which family did it belong originally?
This castle is also our family crest.

See this webpage: "It is the "Reinholdsburg" on the Eider island, which guarded the passage over the Eider river at the border between Holstein and Schleswig".

Reported Variant

I did once again cycle towards the Danish-German border, and back again. As a result I saw some Dutch and some German flags. Rendsburg as reported last year, as the most southern example of this kind of flag, which caused it to end up on our Danish pages: Shield on white flag.

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