ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobilclub)

[ADAC boatflag] image sent by Jörg M. Karaschewski, 6 Jul 2003

I was reading my car club newsletter where there is a report from 100 years of german national auto-club ADAC. It includes a photo from 50 years celebration held in 1953, showing president Theodor Heuss (first West German president 1949-1959, serving two terms) visiting ADAC. In the background there is a flag of ADAC, vertically displayed - white with black cotized Scandinavian cross on the center of which is a black bordered white disk with black displayed eagle between letters ADAC written in German Fraktur.

What strikes me as odd is that the flag has certainly a political connotation that I find unusual for 1953, though certainly this is not based on the Nazi flag, but the older Imperial banner. Is the flag still used?

An actual ADAC boatflag (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobilclub, Munich, Germany) was just sold at eBay.
Jörg M. Karaschewski, 6 Jul 2003

Very much like what I saw in 1953 photo. Of course, there the flag was rectangular and without the anchor, but that is quite expected, right. The colours I was not aware, I assumed the "Prusian" cotized cross (i.e. like Imperial naval ensign), but obviously the cross is red with yellow and black borders.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria drowned in the Starnberger See in 1886. Whether it was an accident caused by his mental disorders or an assassination intended to end the independence of Bavaria remains controversial.

Argo was the vessel on which Jaso and the Argonauts sailed to Colchis to capture the Golden Fleece. They succeeded with the help of the magician Medea. On the way back, Jaso abandoned Medea, who by revenge cut the throat of their children. The story inspired several writers such as Euripides, Seneca and Corneille, as well as the movie maker Pier Paolo Pasolini, with Maria Callas as Medea.
