From Ralf Hartemink's International
Civic Arms website: "Karlsruhe is a relatively young city. It was founded
around the castle of Count Karl Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach in 1715-1718.
The arms were granted to the young city in 1718. The main division of the
field is the arms of Baden in opposite
colours. During the 18th and 19th centuries the colours were often identical
to the arms of Baden. Not until 1895 were
the original colours restored"
Literature: Stadler 1964-1971.

This flag was given to my father in the late 1970s while he was in Karlsruhe,
West Germany. He is not sure, but thinks it may be a city-specific flag.
I have crawled the internet, but cannot find a match to this flag.

According to the coat of arms this is the flag of Neureut, a district of
Karlsruhe.
