Introduction

VEB Deutsche Binnenreederei (DBR) operated all merchant vessels on national and European inland waterways.

Description

Red flag with a white anchor in center, bordered by a blue stripe on top, bottom and fly side [as on the DSR flag]. Source: Meyers Neues Lexikon, Leipzig, 1974.

Volker Moerbitz Keith, 9 February 2001

I made my drawings not from Meyers Neues Lexikon directly, but from my old notes taken about 10 years ago. I may have been wrong with proportions, ratio, small details (for example, cord of anchor) etc.

Victor Lomantsov, 9 February 2001

Victor Lomantsov's image is from Meyers Neues Lexikon which I consider somewhat more reliable than my fading memory. (...) If we use today's Weisse Flotte Potsdam flag as a reference for both the Deutsche Binnenreederei and the Weisse Flotte flag, the ratio would be 1:4:1. I would say we go with Meyers Neues Lexikon.
