Ruder-Club Süderelbe

Name: Ruder-Club Süderelbe von 1892 e.V.
Located in: Hamburg
Established: 6 March 1994.
Description of flag: It is a quarterly divided red and white flag with white capital letters "RCS" in the lower fly and the coat of arms of the former city of Harburg in the upper hoist. Description of coat of arms: It is a white shield with a red open gate with 3 towers, with pinnacles and white brickwork upon the walls. In the open door is a yellow inescutcheon with a black animal, I believe it's a bear facing  the hoist.

On 6 March 1994 the "Ruder-Club Oceana von 1895 e.V." and the "Harburger Ruder-Club von 1892 e.V." merged forming the new club "Ruder-Club Süderelbe von 1892 e.V."

club's predecessors

all were located in Harburg, today Hamburg.
Elb-Ruder-Club "Salut" (from 1892 until 1963): A quarterly divided flag into white and black with a black 5-point star in the upper hoist.
Ruder-Club "Vorwärts" (from 1894 until 1964): A quarterly divided flag into red and white.
Harburger Männer-Ruder-Verein (from 1909 until 1963): A quarterly divided flag into blue and white with white capital letters in the upper hoist "HM" over "RV". The club was established for males only.
Ruder-Club Oceana (from 1895 until 1964): A quarterly divided flag into green and white with a sinister-bendy black anchor in the upper hoist.
Note: According to Mr. Buschmann, a member of the board of RC Süderelbe and a former member of "Oceana" this flag is erroneous. "Oceana" used the one depicted in Rudersportalmanach 1977.
