Jens Pattke reported in the German vexillology mailing list about the flag of one of the Landsmannschaften (territorial or country associations) of Vertriebene (refugees from former German territories or formerly German-inhabited regions in Eastern Europe). He explained that the Russian Germans held their congress on 2nd June 2001 in Stuttgart. A black-white-yellow hanging flag with coat-of-arms could be seen on TV reports hanging above the congress' chair.
