Seniors' flag

[ARc zu Münster Seniors' flag] image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 12 May 2006

The seniors of the club used the same flag with a black Zirkel of the club in the upper hoist.
A „Zirkel" (lit.: compasses) is the logo of a fraternity. Fraternities are connections of academicians, students and pupils of high-level schools (in Germany: Gymnasium). They are usually for males only. Two types are of interset. 1) Rowing Departments of academic gymnastics federation and 2) academic rowing-fraternities. Most of them are members of ARB (Akademischer Ruderbund). The "Zirkel" is a flourished connected ensemble of the initials of the fraternity topped by a wavy line and always accompanied by an exclamation-mark. It is often displayed in the canton of an ARB-club.
