## Bonner RG

image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 11 May 2006

Name: Bonner Ruder-Gesellschaft
Located in: Bonn
Established: 12 March 1919
It is a blue flag with a black saltire fimbriated white and superimposed by a black 8-point-star on a blue rectangle on the centre of the flag.
I chose a light blue (FIAV-code B-) to contrast with black. It may be another blue colour as well.
The club was re-established on 24 January 1929 as Bonner Ruder-Gesellschaft 1919/1923 and adopted the flag of Bonner WSV 1919 (see below). On 11 September 1925 the Wassersportverein Beuel was established by 33 citizens of city of Beuel, which became a borough of Bonn in 1969. Its flag was the current flag of the nowadays club. Since 1925 there ha benn good relationships between both clubs.
In November 1969 members of both clubs established the Rudervereinigung Bonn-beuel. Since 1970 combined teams of both clubs took part in races. On 12 November 1974 a merger agreement was signed, which took effect from 1 January 1978
The name of the new club remained Bonner Rudergesellschaft 1923 e.V. but the flag of Bonner Wassersportverein 1919 E.V. was adopted by the new club.

The flag is divided by saltire into green (hoist and fly) and white(bottom and top). In its centre is a red 8-pointed star superimposed by a yellow three-towered castle, which is taken from the coat of arms of the former city of Bad Godesberg.
Note: The castle in the city´s coat of arms is superimposed by a shield with the arms of Archbishopric of Cologne but I couldn´t prove the existence of the shield in the club´s flag.
