Description of flag :
It is a plain white pennant with two black horizontal lines. Between the lines are black capital letters "B", "R" and "C" surrounded by green connected circles. The "R" is slightly lower. Black and green are the colours of the Besselgymnasium (school), which is also today one of the most successful schools in German school rowing.
Specials:
The club was established as a mere school association and joined the DRV very late, probably in the 1980's or '90's.
Friedrich Wilhelm BESSEL had been a famous  mathematician, who was born in 1784 in Minden. He lived and worked mainly in Königsberg (today: Kaliningrad in Russia) in Prussian services and died in 1846.
