| Description |
English: Ensign of the Imperial German Foreign Office (1892-1918) Ensign of the Imperial German Foreign Office (1892-1918). This was used as a state and civil ensign by the German colonies. The ensign is made of wool bunting with the design of the imperial eagle printed onto the central badge. The flag is machine sewn with the eagle badge sewn in by hand. Assuming that the hoist edge is missing, the badge appears to be the wrong way round. The ensign is divided in three horizontal stripes - black, white and red, the central crowned Imperial eagle with red beak and claws. The ensign was reputedly worn by the German battle cruiser 'Lützow' 1915 at the Battle of Jutland. 'Lützow' was involved in the bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft and was the flagship of Admiral Franz von Hipper (1877-1946) at Jutland. She was severely damaged during the action and subsequently sank. |
